Sacramento Kings 2009-2010 thread | Page 3

We had an offseason thread but training camp started on monday so i figured i might as well make thread for the season. im pretty excited since we added tyreke evans, casspi, brockman in the draft and we got sergio rodriguez from the trailblazers, then we added sean may, desmond mason, and melvin ely. it will be interesting to see whether any of the last 3 are worth a damn. i liked westphal as the coach, he was the guy i wanted. are the rest of you guys excited.

Does it matter?

Do you mean...
-It's the Kings so does it really matter -or-
-Does it really matter who starts?

I think Spencer Hawes is a much better player than Sean May so I think it does.

I always saw May as a power forward, so this is a bit puzzling to me.

The latter. They'll both get their minutes and whoever shines should take the majority.

Ok. I see what you're saying. I'd rather see Hawes start the game with JT and play 30-35 minutes. I haven't seen May play this year yet, but I don't see him or JT as a starting center. May can get the scraps -- 15-18 minutes.

Hawes is a 21 year old who put up 14 and 8 after the all star break. IMO, he's earned the starting job.

Yeah Hawes is longer and more athletic so he's a better defensive player, plus he's a better passer and has a good offensive game. I hope Spencer wins the job, because JT is a better PF than center and I don/'t know if I think Shaun May can be a full time starting center.

I wonder if Westphal has a thing for Sean May since he coached Charles Barkley.

Tonight's SL was Evans-Martin-Garcia-Kenny Thomas-JT

Hawes is sitting with a sprained ankle. So I'm not putting much into the May start. Just a chance to see certain lineups work together.
