A RIVAL SCOUT SIZES UP THE KINGS

Their roster is rotten. The one good thing I can say is that for such a young team, Keith Smart is probably the perfect coach—he's so positive, and that's what they need because their two main guys, DeMarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans, appear to be clueless.... Cousins has all the tools. It's amazing to see the talent he has—along with the lack of discipline he shows. Rasheed Wallace was a well-behaved genius compared to this guy.... Evans has no clue how to play. He needs to be moved out of that organization. They tried him at the point, then at the two, then the three; he has never known what he was trying to be, and it has been too much for him.... Jason Thompson is one of the most overrated players in the league. Last year he had his best year, but he still doesn't do anything really well. He doesn't play like he's 6' 11".... You have to worry about Thomas Robinson. Who are his role models going to be? How is he going to improve? ... Jimmer Fredette will be in Europe in a year or two. He has no future in the league. None. He can't create his own shot, and he'll never be a point guard. Steve Nash is an all-world defender compared to this guy.
