Rudy came in, and positively contributed right away. He was a 18ppg scorer at Memphis, but was thrusted into the wrong situation in Toronto. Rudy was traded to Sacramento and a lot of people had mixed feelings. After every signing, it became the joking game of 'Do the Kings have a SF yet?: NO'. We just weren't able to find a starting SF since Artest. We went through the likes of Francisco, Casspi, Salmons, Honeycutt, Outlaw, and D.
People forget that before Rudy, the Kings were desperate for a SF. Lots of people dislike because of his game, but I really liked Rudy.
