Sacramento Kings

Players to Watch: DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay, Derrick Williams, Ben Mclemore

Notable changes from last year: Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins became the first big man to compete in the Kicks On Court race last season, as he wore an abundance of NIKEiDs, player exclusives and retros last season. Judging by his LeBron PEs this preseason, he shows no signs of slowing down. The Kings also return Rudy Gay, a constant in the Kicks On Court headlines for years, and you can’t ignore the entertaining footwear choices of 2013 Kicks On Court Champion Derrick Williams. Jason Thompson is still one of the biggest NIKEiD supporters in the NBA, and Ben Mclemore will continue to lace up great adidas PEs in purple, black, silver and white.

Atlanta Hawks

Players to Watch: DeMarre Carroll, Shelvin Mack

Notable changes from last year: When talking iDs, only a few had better 1-of-1 creations that was as attractive as DeMarre Carroll and Shelvin Mack. The former’s speckle print LeBron X Elites were simply amazing, and Mack opted to wear multiple ‘Shedding Skin’ Kobe 8 iDs throughout the regular season and in the playoffs.
