Dewayne Dedmon was supposed to be the “marquee” free agent signing for the Sacramento Kings in the offseason. He was going to shore up the center position and spread the floor using his 38% three-point percentage to stretch the defense. He was supposed to be the perfect fit for the Kings’ run-and-gun offense.
There has been no run-and-gun, and there hasn’t been much of Dewayne Dedmon, either.
He is shooting an abysmal 23% from beyond the arc this season and has a per-36 average of 3.7 turnovers per game. Things have gotten so bad that he has fallen out of the rotation completely, appearing in just two of the Kings’ last 14 games, playing a total of 7 minutes.
