Player Info

Precious Achiuwa is a versatile and athletic big man for the Sacramento Kings, whose energy and defensive potential continue to intrigue. The 26-year-old Nigerian, born in Queens, was the 20th overall pick in the 2020 draft by the Miami Heat after one season at the University of Memphis. Standing 6'8" with a powerful 240-pound frame and a 7'2" wingspan, Achiuwa's physical tools are exceptional. He is a switchable defender who can guard in space, protect the rim in spurts, and rebound at a high rate. Offensively, he is a work in progress but has shown flashes of a handle and an improving face-up game. After a trade to the Toronto Raptors, he was part of the deal that sent Pascal Siakam to Indiana, landing him with the Kings. In Sacramento, Achiuwa provides frontcourt depth, athleticism, and defensive versatility behind Domantas Sabonis. His career is at a crossroads where harnessing his physical gifts with more offensive consistency could make him a highly valuable two-way rotation player.
