Ron Artest is still a defensive stopper as he is averaging 2.6 steals per game.  His problem so far this season has been his shooting.  He’s only hitting 39.3% from the floor, mostly because of bad shot selection.  He’s averaging 16.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game so far this season.  It would really help the Kings if he could make more of his shots count.
