DeMarcus Cousins appears to be the real deal, but is Tyreke Evans a fellow franchise cornerstone or just an intriguing trade asset at this point?

Isaiah Thomas was a rookie revelation last season, but can he lead this roster for the long term? How does newcomer Aaron Brooks fit into the point guard picture? Does Jimmer Fredette even have a real future in Sacramento, much less the NBA?
