Jimmer Fredette struggled as a ball-handler in the pick-and-roll during his rookie season with the Kings.

Fredette plans to remedy that weakness during the offseason.

“After my first year in the NBA, I have seen how important the pick-and-roll is,” Fredette said. “We play it a lot. It is important to read the situations, see how they are guarding you, be able to attack the big guy — and the best guards in the NBA are really good at keeping their dribble alive and reading the pick-and-roll. I will be working a lot on that.”

Fredette gave the nod to Russell Westbrook as his toughest cover.

“There are many great players in the NBA, but the one that sticks out right now is Russell Westbrook,” Fredette said. “He is so athletic, freakishly athletic, and being so quick. He recovers so fast and has so many natural gifts, and he is really hard to play defense against.”

Geoff Petrie has one year remaining on his contract with the Kings and was recently asked how much longer he would like to remain in the business.

"I honestly don't think about that," said Petrie. "I think about next year and what we do. Whatever the future holds after that, personally or collectively, I really don't spend much time pondering that. I would really like to see the team get on an upward trajectory, regardless of whether I keep doing this or doing something else."

The Kings will have $15 million in salary cap space and the fifth-best chances of landing the first overall pick.

Geoff Petrie was asked what the Kings are planning on addressing in the offseason.

"We need to improve our defensive presence around the basket," said Petrie. "Our three-point shooting needs to elevate. We need to shoot the ball better in general, but our three-point shooting needs to get better. And, as a team, we've got to get more efficient offensively. We need to score the ball at a better rate. … The young guys who have now played two, three years in the league – what they've learned about the game and their commitment to each other has to start kicking in."
