At the start of the 2009-10 season it looked like the Kings would be phasing 27-year old point guard Beno Udrih out of the rotation due to Tyreke Evans and Kevin Martin starting at guard. But Martin broke his wrist early in the season and the Kings traded him to Houston in February so Udrih got back into a groove. Udrih played in 79 games (41 starts) for the Kings last season and he averaged 31.4 minutes, 12.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game. In his three years with the Kings, Udrih has played in 217 games (164 starts) in which he has averaged 31.5 minutes, 12.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Look for Udrih to be a key to the Kings’ immediate future as he is a very solid basketball player.

Power forward Carl Landry has really played well since coming over from the Rockets in the Kevin Martin trade. Landry has played in 23 games (all starts) for the Kings this season and he is averaging 37.5 minutes, 17.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Landry is also shooting 52.3% from the floor for the Kings as he is looking like a major building block for the future.

27-year old point guard Beno Udrih is the Kings’ player who most benefitted from the Kevin Martin trade with the Rockets. In his last three games, Udrih is averaging 42.7 minutes, 21.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 12.0 assists and 2.7 steals per game. He has now played in 68 games (30 starts) this season and he is averaging 30.1 minutes, 12.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. Udrih has really been a solid player in a down year for the Kings and they hope he ends the season strongly.

2nd year forward Donte’ Greene has been really solid lately for the Kings. In his last three games, Greene is averaging 33.0 minutes, 18.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Overall, Greene has played in 45 games (31 starts) for the Kings this season and he is averaging 21.3 minutes, 8.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Look for Greene’s minutes to increase the rest of this season if he keeps playing like he is right now.

Point guard Beno Udrih will go back to coming off the bench after the return of Kevin Martin this past week. Udrih has played in 37 games (14 starts) for the Kings this season and he is averaging 31.0 minutes, 13.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game this season. Look for Udrih to keep playing well for the Kings as he has spent most of the year coming off the bench anyway. But, he did play well as a starter for them this season and they won’t hesitate to put him back into the starting line-up if the need arises.
