Fredette Focused on Improving Kings Offense

Basketball News & NBA Rumors

The Kings began Monday ranked last in the NBA with 16.6 assists per game.

That’s not shocking, considering the Kings are shooting 40.1 percent, also last in the NBA.

Keith Smart believes Jimmer Fredette could help in those areas.

Fredette is shooting 64 percent (16 of 25) from the floor and 50 percent (5 of 10) on three-point attempts. He scored a season-high 18 points in Sunday’s loss against the Lakers in Los Angeles.

Players still test Fredette on defense. He said he has worked to be aggressive and stick with the defensive plan to avoid being picked on.

But don’t be confused – Fredette is in games to score.

“I feel like it’s going in every time I shoot it,” Fredette said.
