Arron Afflalo

There is a reason why the Sacramento Kings agreed to a 2-year/$25 million contract with Arron Afflalo this offseason.

Afflalo has shown through his career that he can be the ideal starting two-guard that the Kings have been looking for in ages.

When looking at Afflalo’s game, the word balance comes to mind. He is a player that can score in a variety of ways offensively but can also defend at a solid level as well. A two-way player that is equally effective on both ends of the court.

Afflalo has also been the starting shooting guard for multiple playoff teams in the past, which gives him the experience to know what good teams need to do in order to be successful in the NBA.

Afflalo brings a good blend of offense, defense, and experience to the Kings, which is exactly what the purple and white need for their starting two-guard.
