Many of the great questions we’ve been trying to tackle about the next season for the Sacramento Kings have to do with the team’s rotation. Things like where Rudy Gay will play, who’ll be the starter at point guard and which two of Sacramento’s three big men are going to start have all of us stumped right now.

So to put in my official answers for all of those questions (and several more) I’ve attempted to predict how the Sacramento Kings depth chart will look next season. I’ll go through position by position, giving the players I see occupying each spot and how many minutes I expect them to see there.

I’m not going to include some bench players who’s only anticipated minutes are garbage time, just because I don’t expect to see guys like David Stockton to get steady nightly minutes, at least at first. But for the main rotation players on the Kings I’ll have minute per game estimations and brief explanations of why I see the depth chart unfolding as I do.
