Pretty good article to read, thought the hoopsworld staff did a good job....something that caught my eye was how good Brooks was the last time he was in the league. Didn't know he averaged 20/5 as a point guard, hopefully he can contribute and be a steal for us this season.

The Best New Addition: It went completely under the radar, but the Kings got a steal in Aaron Brooks for $3.25 million late in free agency. The Phoenix Suns renounced his rights, which allowed the Kings to get him at a bargain. It’s like everyone has forgotten what Brooks, who was stellar in China last season, did the last time he played starter’s minutes in 2009-10. He was good for 19.6 points and 5.3 assists a game then. He’s been forced to split time since, which he’ll have to do with Isaiah Thomas, but it’s not like he didn’t still prove to be very serviceable. The addition of Brooks allows the Kings to quit kidding themselves with Jimmer Fredette, who just can’t give them what they need at the point.
