Hardly matters.
If you had observed the quality of back-up point guards the Kings had been running out there before we signed Udrith, you would know that Beno is ten times better and he will be getting plenty of playing time to prove his worth once Bibby returns.
Considering his worth is less than a second round pick (what Minny traded for him then released him) then I guess you are right.
Right now, he is certainly worth that to the Kings, who have no one to run the offense effectively behind him. Garcia and Douby, the two guys getting the majority of minutes prior to the Kings's signing Udrith, are hardly true point guards. Salmon was much better, but he lost his playing time when Artest returned, and for whatever reason, Theus is not interested in John playing the point much.
If nothing else Beno admits he is much calmer now, because he knows he won't be yanked out of the game if he misses two shots in a row, or misses a defensive assignment. During the Knicks game, he was not too confident out on the court, but against Detroit, he was clearly much more comfortable knowing his role. This was clear in the second half when the Kings started to actually look like an NBA team with its shot selection and spacing. I had to rub my eyes several times to make sure I wasn't seeing things. A point guard who was actually running a pick and roll with Miller, who was getting tons of open looks because of it (and for whatever reason, missed most of them)
It certainly helped that Detroit was determined to knock Kevin Martin out of the offense. It left Udrith with so many opportunities to score or pass to open shooters, he looked really good out on the court. At least for one game - against a clearly superior team - the Kings gave us fans a little hope that they can play a little basketball with the big boys.
And Udrith was responsible for the transition against the Pistons.
