Earning It

Rashad showed why he was a great pickup for the Kings, scoring 29 points off the bench this weekend.

Rashad goes for two against Utah (Getty Images).

After learning the system for a few games in Sacramento Rashad is showing he can contribute in a big way to his new team.

"When everyone is involved in a game like this, a blowout like this is a lot of fun,'' Spencer Hawes said in Friday's 98-86 win over the Clippers. "It was good for us. In our situation, we really needed it.''

Rashad went 6 for 11 from the field with 6 rebounds, an assist, two steals and a block in the win over the Clippers. He showed up in a big way again in Saturday's 102-89 loss to the Jazz going 8 for 14 from the field with 2 rebounds, an assist and 2 steals.

Look for No. 7 to continue this tear as the Kings head back to Sacramento for a four-game stretch.

NEXT UP
Rashad and the Kings face the Indiana Pacers tomorrow night at 7:00 PM PST – you can catch the game locally on CSNCA.
