Unveiling the NBA’s Most Game-Changing Third Stars: Who’s Quietly Dominating the Hardwood?

We have to wonder what Sacramento might look like if either of its top two options, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, were the type of two-way performers that could carry a winning franchise. Likewise, how might the Kings fare if the roster were built to complement Sabonis? If, for example, Sacramento featured a floor-spacing rim protector like Holmgren at Sabonis’ side, might they be a fringe contender?
Indiana and Sacramento have built playoff rosters around Sabonis, who has served as anywhere from a first to third option. He is best suited as a No. 3, though maybe not in Sacramento, where neither LaVine nor DeRozan are defenders. What the Kings need from Sabonis is defense, but that is not his game. He has every other complementary skill, which leads us to wonder if he would be better suited elsewhere.
