There’s no telling what the long-term future for Bhullar is, but he’s one of the most fascinating players to ever try and make it into the league. Seeing what he can do at this level will be intriguing to say the least.

We’ve seen about eight different versions of Rudy Gay as a player with some being substantially less flattering than others.

You still have to question the thought process behind allowing Thomas to leave, but the reality now is that they have to replace his role with Collison. Seeing how he performs in that role and as a starter in the NBA once again will be big for the Kings.

McLemore’s rookie campaign wasn’t what many expected it would be, but the talent there is incredibly obvious. The Kings have to want to see something more substantial out of the second-year guard this season in the interest of their short-term and long-term success.

Playing with Team USA at the FIBA World Cup and having another year under his belt in the NBA seems to have done wonders for the Kings center. He seems to be entering the season with a new attitude and level of commitment. If that can hold true, he has the talent to legitimately be the best center in basketball.
