Sacramento Kings – Draft a prospect or trade for immediate help?.Did the Kings Make a Mistake Rushing to Hire Mike Brown.Kings or Timberwolves: Who Has Been Worse?.The short stint we seen from the Kings experiment of Rudy playing power forward, was really put on display during a five game span from 3/22/15 – 3/30/15. Here is Rudy during an interview on siriusXM: Now in that situation it didn’t seem to have worked out too well, but with the Kings, they tried the idea throughout the closing games of the 2015 season, and it seemed to have worked.Įven during this offseason Karl, Vlade, and Rudy have came out publicly and stated that they plan on playing Gay “more at the four.” This has been an idea that has been floating around since Rudy’s time in Toronto, when the Raptors were going to have Gay become their stretch four next to young center Jonas Valanciunas. In my opinion, I truly believe that come opening night, Rudy Gay will be the Sacramento Kings starting power forward. With the Sacramento Kings preaching “positionless basketball” and the desperation to be an up and down, fast pace team moving Gay to that stretch four role could be exactly what this team wants (or needs) in this system coach Karl runs. Many see Rudy Gay as the teams starting small forward, but could we see him switch that position to the power forward spot?
