Re: Sacramento

With their current roster their chances for the playoffs are very limited. They did bad last year and their roster was arguably better (Rondo, Belinelli). What's more other lottery teams seem to have improved: Utah (Exum is back), LAL (Ingram, Walton), Minny (Thibs) etc

Well, they did add Afflalo, who will greatly help their perimeter D along with Collison as the starting point guard now. However, I don't see them even sniffing the playoffs.

Nah, Afflalo is no longer a plus defender. Too old and slow. At best, Afflalo is average and I doubt he is even that. Collison is a subpar defender as well.

McLemore is far and away their best defender at SG.

Even a diminished Afflalo is better than McLemore. I watched a lot of the Kings last year (one of my league pass teams) and that kid is lost on defense. Afflalo is immediately their best all-around guard.
