6 Forwards that the Sacramento Kings can still sign in free agency

Precious Achiuwa

Precious Achiuwa isn't the offensive player that either Hayward or Crowder is. But he is younger (he will be 25 at the start of the season) and has more defensive upside.

A good deal of Achiuwa's value is tied to his secondary rim protection. Last year, he finished in the 87th percentile in block rate despite logging 63% of his minutes at power forward (per Basketball Reference).

(Sidebar #1: If you are not a center, you aren't expected to have a super high block rate. So, when you do, it gives you a huge leg up on the market.)

Unlike the other two gentlemen we've discussed, Achiuwa can also give you some minutes as a small-ball center (36% of his minutes). This gives the Kings some more depth at the five (the only players they currently have that play center are Domantas Sabonis and Alex Len).

Achiuwa also earned his postseason sea legs this year, logging 184 minutes for the New York Knicks in the playoffs – starting two games in the process.

For some reason, the market has been really quiet around the soon-to-be fifth-year unrestricted center. The Kings should seize this opportunity and offer Achiuwa a small contract (like the ones we've already discussed) to add more size to our defense's frontline.
