The Fit

As I mentioned before, arguably the biggest need for the Kings is finding a legit starting three. For Ariza, he has fulfilled that role for most of his career. In the 942 regular-season games Ariza has appeared in, he has started in 641 of them.

Ariza has also shown to be a good starter for playoff-contending teams as he has been in the starting five in 90 of the 102 postseason games he has competed in.

In my opinion, Ariza’s experience is one of the many reasons why I think he would make a good wing player for the Kings. But let us move on to his skillset.
