Greivis Vasquez, Isaiah Thomas and the Kings’ point guard(s) of the future

The Kings landed Vasquez in the Tyreke Evans sign-and-trade, but is the Venezuelan even better than incumbent Isaiah Thomas?

If you ignore Jimmer for a second and assume rookie Ray McCallum makes the roster, the Vasquez-Thomas point guard rotation makes a lot of sense. Look at their 2012-13 per-36 and shooting numbers.

Both guards are really aggressive, but in different ways: Vasquez is aggressive in making plays (see those turnovers, too?) and Thomas is an aggressive scorer. Both do the other thing pretty regularly (Vasquez can score and I.T. can pass), but the priorities are different. Why? Because, in my opinion, the skills are different.

Of course, Jimmer (under contract through 2014-15) could do that too, freeing up an I.T. trade. But every indication has been that Fredette is not long for this franchise. We'll see.

(Cue the I.T. trade rumor that makes this entire thing irrelevant.)
