SF: Omri Casspi/Antoine Wright
PF: DeMarcus Cousins/Carl Landry
C: Jason Thompson/Samuel Dalembert/Hassan Whiteside
A very young and promising line-up. Evans will only be getting better. Udrih is a very capable back-up PG. Evans might possibly plays SG next year and Udrih could get the PG position but the bench would be weaker. Omri Casspi has shown a lot of promise and was a steal for them last year. DeMarcus Cousins will be the best player from this draft class, in my opinion, because he is more NBA ready than all the other draft-ees IMO. Jason Thompson was very solid last year as well and will continue to get better. Dalembert would give them someone to mentor the young guys and is a 10/10 guy off the bench. Carl Landry is a great hustle player and can really contribute to the team off the bench and be their 6th man.(My bet is he wins 6th Man of the Year). Hassan Whiteside is a project but the Kings are stacked at the F/C positions so if he doesn't work out then too bad but if he does, the Kings would have a menacing frontcourt. This team has a lot to look forward to in the future and is illed with young talent. I doubt they make the playoffs next year because they are so young and,well,their the Kings. I think they make the playoffs starting 2011-2012.
