Positional Breakdown: Center

For the past five seasons, DeMarcus Cousins has anchored the center position in Sacramento. However, this season some new faces in town may fill that role as Boogie slides over to the power forward spot to begin the 2015-16 campaign.

Willie Cauley-Stein

This transition began this past June when the Kings drafted a big man out of the University of Kentucky named Willie Cauley-Stein with the sixth overall pick.
