Tyreke Evans was kind enough to play a little "Stud or Cop-out" with Kings Talking Points. Here's how the game works: Five questions. Five tough questions. Answer each honestly and you're a stud. Refuse to answer one and you've copped out.
In this version, we learn which Kings like to look in the the mirror the most, what Tyreke thinks of Brandon Jennings, and whether Tyreke would ever use a little fact to help him with women.
Oh, and he also tells us whether he thinks anyone in the NBA can stop him one-one-one. Have a look:

Official Wildly Optimistic (and probably delusional) Pre-Camp Happy Talk
Camp is here. And wow I'm excited.
Well, not really. Maybe a tad pumped? Nah.
But hey, it's here, okay, so let's get it on.
And I'm going to be stay positive (in loving memory of Positive Dave).
But first a note of pessimism.
WE'RE DOOMED.
Run for the hills. The Maloofs are already packed and ready to leave town. The Kings will be playing in Pensacola by this time next year. Nothing but cobwebs here instead of C-Webb. All is lost. Including this season, which will mean nothing when the team leaves us high and dry.
There. Now back to our Positivity. Here are some reasons to get motivated:
Demarcus Cousins: A big load of talent. He puts us back on the basketball map with his sheer force of will. Love the attitude. Hates to lose. Leaves no prisoners. And he's got skills.
Samuel Dalembert: Lookee here. A shot blocker. Haven't seen one of those around these parts since, well, uh... you get the picture. No more driving the lane against the Kings like a carefree toddler in the park.
Tyreke Evans: Stud rookie. Bigger stud with a season under his belt. And a jump shot. Now if he could just learn to look for his teammates just a teeny-weeny more.
Omri Casspi: Guy hates to be off the court and that's a huge plus. Might have the most need to succeed of anybody. And my biggest prediction: Helps solve the Mideast problem during All-Star break.
Donte Green: This is exactly where Gerald Wallace was after two years in the league. We all know what happened to him. This time, Kings are patient and turn the potential into stardom.
Hassan Whiteside: A tall leaper project with more basketball ability than more tall leaper projects. Reportedly battled Attention Deficit Disorder. Kings must figure out a way to keep his head in the game. I'm doing my part by making him an honorary correspondent.

Kings re-name arena - We have a Situation
Arco is history. The naming rights have expired for the aging arena. But no need to fear about all those lost monetary considerations associated with sponsorship. The money will continue to flow.
You see, a new name is already bought and paid for. The glowing neon letters are being crafted as you read this.
In the first scoop of the season for Kings Talking Points, my clandestine sources tell me that a new name has been chosen for the arena.
And it's perfect.
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to...
THE SITUATION.
Yup, there you have it. After an exhaustive 2-day search, the Maloof brothers settled on a new arena name that pays tribute to the shiny six-pack abs of the ape-like reality star.
Why, you ask?
Why not, I say. This a brilliant stroke by the Maloofs. A TV tie-in. Appeal to the youth market. Season-ticket bundles for Guidos.
It's a slam dunk. And best of all, we don't have to worry about getting some awful-sounding company to plant their name on the building and make us feel awkward just saying the name.
"Hey dad, let's get going, I don't want to be late to Mucinex Arena."
"Meet you at Orkin Pest Control Arena for a snack before the game"
And don't even think about local companies chipping in. Bonney Plumbing Arena? Wasn't gonna happen.
Now, The Situation, that's an arena name with panache.
"Let's hit The Situation tonight to watch some hoops." "What a situation at The Situation last night"
And what about Grant Napear's new catch phrase: "The Situation is off the hook. Just watch out for grenades" (that one was for Jersey Shore fans only)
So there you go, Kings fans.
A new era for the team.
A new name for the arena.
And I hesitate to reveal my little secret about who's going to be singing the national anthem on opening night.
But here's a hyphenated hint from my extremely semi-informed sources:
J-Woww.
