10. Sacramento Kings

Starting Five: Darren Collison, Ben McLemore, Rudy Gay, Willie Cauley-Stein, DeMarcus Cousins 

Starting Five Rating: 19

In perhaps the most interesting of results, the Sacramento Kings actually have the 10th best starting five in the NBA. Who knew?

They have an average NBA backcourt, but have a really good frontcourt, with Rudy Gay, Willie Cauley-Stein and Boogie. Also, this is assuming that Rajon Rondo isn’t the starter right away, which may or may not change. Though, their Starting Five Rating wouldn’t change either way.

Sacramento actually has a good starting five. I would suppose their issue would be continuity and coaching.
