Brad Miller has turned back the clock as he has been outstanding so far this season for the Kings. Miller has played in 32 games this season for the Kings and he is averaging 35.8 minutes, 13.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. Point guard Beno Udrih has been playing the best basketball of his NBA career this year for the Kings. Udrih has played in 27 games so far this season for the Kings and he is averaging 36.2 minutes, 13.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Ron Artest will miss the next 3-4 weeks as he recovers from elbow surgery. Artest has started 19 games this season for the Kings and he is averaging 19.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.0 block per game. The Kings might be able to replace Artest’s offense but they will miss his defense.

The Kings would have no problem increasing rookie center Spencer Hawes playing time if he earns it. He has played in 22 games so far this season and he is averaging 9.3 mintues, 3.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. His problem has been his shooting as he’s only hitting 39.1% from the floor and that’s unacceptable for a player his size.
