Arron Afflalo

As an offensive player, Afflalo was the ideal shooting two-guard. For the season, Afflalo averaged 8.4 points per game while shooting 44% from the floor, 41.1% from the three-point line, and 89.2% from the free-throw line. Great numbers for a shooter.

Defensively, however, Afflalo didn’t make much of a positive impact. The Kings’ perimeter defense struggled as a collective whole, but Afflalo was a reason for it. As a result, Afflalo recorded an abysmal 117.1 defensive rating for the year. Overall, Afflalo was efficiently on the offensive side of the ball but wasn’t as a defender.

Overall Grade: C+
