Power Forwards

The Kings have three power forwards on their team: Willie Cauley-Stein, Anthony Tolliver, and Skal Labissiere.

Cauley-Stein showed last season that he could eventually play a huge role for the Kings going forward, which is why he deserves the starting power forward spot to start the season.

To backup Cauley-Stein, we have the veteran Anthony Tolliver. Tolliver has had 8 years of NBA experience and can fit the role of being a stretch-four, a type of player that the Kings need. Because Tolliver is a veteran that fits a specific role for the Kings is why we think he will be granted the #2 power forward spot.

Lastly, we have Skal Labissiere at third. Labissiere showed a lot of promise in his summer league campaign, but is still a very raw talent.

It would be foolish for the Kings to put the Labissiere into the fire right away. Instead, have him develop more as a player and gain muscle weight as well. Then, when Skal is ready to be called upon he can start his career on the right foot.
