Was Staing In Sacramento The Right Move For Chris Webber?
A no-brainer here. Chris Webber (27.1 points, 11 rebounds,
1.7 block per game) gets $122.7 million to play with a team that is royally blessed with talent: center Vlade Divac (12 points,
8.3 rebounds), forward Peja Stojakovic (20.4 points) guard/forward Doug Christie (12.3 points, 2.3 steals) and ex-grizzlie
point guard Mike Bibby (see below). Plus the Sacramento Kings fun, wide-open style suits the multi-talented Chris Webber's
game. The team probably stilllacks the inside force needed to overtake the Lakers. But with Chris Webber in the Sac-town's
kingdom, that can't be ruled out.
Key Player:
Point guard Mike Bibby provides the Sacramento Kings
with steady leadership. That's why the Sacramento Kings traded point guard Jason Williams to get him. Mike Bibby was fourth
in the NBA assists last season (8.4 per game) (1999-20002). He shot 45.4 percent from the field (to Jason Williams's 40.7
percent). Mike Bibby's 2.76 assist/turnover ratio was also better than Jason Williams (2.6).
