Greivis Vasquez scored 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting with two rebounds, six assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes on Friday. Vasquez has really struggled to find his way in Sacto and is hasn't helped that Isaiah Thomas (13 points, seven assists) has been the team's best or second-best player all season. It also doesn't help that he has some holes in his fantasy game. Look for Vasquez to continue to improve over his current numbers, as it appears he'll be able to tap into minutes at shooting guard and that will keep Thomas' ascension from hurting too much.

Greivis Vasquez thinks his early season struggles are stemming from trying too hard to play better. Vasquez has started extremely slow out of the gate for the Kings after averaging nine assists per game with the Hornets (Pelicans?) last season. While it's good to see Vasquez searching inward to improve his game, Isaiah Thomas is nipping at his heels for the starting point guard job and is the better player to own in fantasy right now.

Greivis Vasquez started again for the Kings on Saturday, but hit just 1-of-7 shots for two points and three assists in 24 minutes of a blowout loss. Isaiah Thomas hit just 2-of-10 shots and zero 3-pointers off the bench, but was aggressive, finishing with 12 points, three rebounds, five assists and a steal. We have no idea why he's not starting over Vasquez, but it appears that the Kings are going to roll with Vasquez until further notice. But for fantasy purposes, IT2 is the better player to own.

Greivis Vasquez will start on opening night for the Kings, with Isaiah Thomas coming off the bench. Vasquez gets the job after a rocky preseason and there's only so many excuses that can be given for the ankle issue he entered training camp with. The fact is that he has a pass-only game that is the antithesis of last year's Kings, and after such strong support out of the front office following his acquisition he's going to get first crack. Vasquez is not the fantasy asset that Thomas is on a per-minute basis, and we'd expect Mike Malone to ride the hot hand -- which to date has been Thomas.

Greivis Vasquez started at point guard on Friday against the Clippers, but missed all five of his shot attempts while handing out 12 assists in 22 minutes. The assists are somewhat fluky given the preseason tempo and the Kings started off slow yet again, but it's almost cliche to start the guy that only wants to pass if you've watched years of bad basketball in Sacramento. The Sacramento media is pushing hard for Vasquez to start, and the team has been vocal in their praise of his pass-only ways. And with Thomas scoring 27 points tonight off the bench he might have inadvertently bought himself a bench job.

Greivis Vasquez started at point guard again on Wednesday but struggled, hitting 3-of-5 shots and a 3-pointer for seven points, two rebounds and three assists. Isaiah Thomas came off the bench to hit 5-of-13 shots and 9-of-10 free throws for 21 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals and two 3-pointers. Thomas has looked better than Vasquez this preseason, and it doesn't even look close to us. We're still expecting Thomas to win the job and he looks like the better player to own at this point.

Greivis Vasquez played 15 minutes against the Suns on Thursday, scoring 10 points with one board, two assists, two steals, two 3-pointers and one turnover. He looked much better than he did in his two-point game during his preseason debut on Monday, but that's to be expected. Isaiah Thomas had a rough game, making 2-of-9 from the field for four points with one assist and two turnovers in 21 minutes. Vasquez looks like he has the inside track to win the starting job, but nothing is certain yet.

Greivis Vasquez returned to action and played 11 minutes in Monday's preseason win over the Clippers, scoring two points on 1-of-2 shooting with two rebounds and one assist. Vasquez looked better than the numbers indicated, and Isaiah Thomas didn't look as good as the 16 points, four rebounds and five assists suggested, either. It's going to be a hard battle that comes down to the wire, though Thomas has the upper hand in fantasy leagues with his superior statistical production. Mark Malone has said that whoever starts in preseason games 5-7 will be his starters.

Greivis Vasquez is expected to play 10-15 minutes in his preseason debut on Monday. He's been out with his ankle injury and the team has taken it easy on him. Vasquez has been with the team for activities and has done some work in practice, but this will be his first noteworthy action since his ankle surgery back on May 24. His position battle with Isaiah Thomas is one of the most interesting in the NBA.

Greivis Vasquez (ankle) is expected to make his Kings debut on Monday night against the Clippers. He didn't play the preseason opener and Isaiah Thomas ran the show against the Warriors. IT2 did turn the ball over five times, but it wasn't a sub-par game considering it was his first action of the preseason. This is one of the better position battles in the NBA, but both figure to cancel each other out a bit since they're both starting-caliber point guards.
