With the news that free agent Precious Achiuwa is joining the Sacramento Kings, their outlook this season has changed a bit. The former Knick is known for his strong defense, an area the Kings are decisively lacking in. If this works out, things might be looking up for Sacramento.
When Doug Christie entered his first training camp as the Kings' head coach, he made it clear that defense was the name of the game from now on. And he's right. Sacramento's generally mediocre performance on defense regularly costs them games, and has been doing so for years.
