PLAYER TO WATCH
BENO UDRIH, Kings
The 6-foot-3 point guard didn't fit in well as a backup in San Antonio but he has been doing a nice job running coach Reggie Theus' system. He is averaging 14.9 points on 45.7% shooting and has made 86.8% of his foul shots. He has started in 11 games and has scored in double figures in 11 of the 13 games in which he has played. The Kings signed Udrih as a free agent on Nov. 1.
