Adelman made his descision. Said he wanted the post presence to start the game. KT seemed to be taking it okay, said he is a professional, etc.

I don't see how this could be arguable in the first place!

i had no doubt reef would start. he's flat out the better player. kenny thomas, however, would make perhaps one of the best backups in the league. this team has some great depth at the big man position now, very underrated by the casual fan.

Adelman made the right choice.

Kings notes: Abdur-Rahim wins the job: Forward gets the starting nod over Thomas, who should be first off the bench

Quote:

Kings coach Rick Adelman gave both an equal look through eight preseason games and decided to go with a bigger low-block presence in Abdur-Rahim. Thomas still wants to start but is accepting his role as the likely sixth man. He promises to energize the club with points, rebounds and by running the floor.

"I'm a professional athlete, can't complain," Thomas said. "We're here to do a job. (Adelman) told me I'm going to be a significant part of the team and probably be the first one off the bench and to go from there. It is what it is. I'm going to play like I did last year."

Said Abdur-Rahim: "I've always started my whole career, and I'm comfortable with that role. I play my best basketball starting, but my main goal is for us to win."
