-> Moved, '13-'14 Kings vs '11-'12 Dubs

[NBKLee]

We can all agree both teams are horrible.

But I'll contend that the Kings had a better roster

Isaiah Thomas
DeMarcus Cousins
Rudy Gay
Aaron Gray
Carl Landry
Derrick Williams
Ray McCallum
Ben McLemore
Jason Terry SG
Jason Thompson
Royce White
Quincy Acy SF
Reggie Evans
Travis Outlaw

vs

Earl Barron
Keith Benson
Andris Biedrins
Kwame Brown
Stephen Curry
Monta Ellis
Mickell Gladness
Richard Jefferson
Charles Jenkins
David Lee
Dominic McGuire
Mikki Moore
Nate Robinson
Brandon Rush
Ishmael Smith
Klay Thompson
Jeremy Tyler
Ekpe Udoh
Chris Wright
Dorell Wright

Dubs didn't have a Center that year. Kwame Brown for 9 games doesn't count. La Tax was in full blown useless mode, which left the Dubs to throw out undersized D.Lee and Udoh.


Cousins/Landry/Thompson/Williams > D.Lee/Udoh/Kwame/La Tax

To compound the issue, Dubs had Steph at the 1, and Ellis playing 2, we were getting killed each night on offense because of the small back court.

Isiah Thomas/ Rudy Gay may not be the perfect backcourt either, but Thomas can hold his own, and Gay is a scorer. I would call this a "push"


The Bench probably was better for the Dubs, but that's not saying much. Mikki Moore, D. McGuire, RJ, Rush, Nate, for stretches these players were forced to start or play heavy minutes, none of them were "legit NBA Starters".


I suppose its like comparing your favorite Children, but seeing that '11-'12 team upclose, I can safely say they were horrible. I'll take the Kings roster this year, atleast there's a semblance of hope for the future.
