After finishing the 2024-25 season with the Knicks, forward Precious Achiuwa did not find his next landing spot until just before the start of training camp. A few weeks after signing with the Heat, who selected him with the 20th overall pick in the 2020 draft, Achiuwa was waived. It would not be until November that he agreed to a deal with the Kings, and a few months later, Precious would emerge as a player who could be a fantasy league winner.
Since the All-Star break, the 6-foot-8 forward has averaged 16.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 0.7 three-pointers in 32.0 minutes per game. In those 13 appearances, Achiuwa has shot 59.8 percent from the field and 76.5 percent from the foul line. His fantasy value since the break has been elite, and Achiuwa has shown no signs of slowing down.

After scoring six points in 20 minutes in his first game of Week 20, Achiuwa reached double figures in scoring in each of his final three appearances, recording 20-point double-doubles in wins over the Clippers and Jazz to end the week.
The Kings are one of the lottery-bound teams that boast multiple players with “silly season standout” potential, as rookies Maxime Raynaud and Nique Clifford have been popular pickups, and Killian Hayes may also be in the mix. That said, there’s no denying that Achiuwa, if available, is by far the best pickup for managers seeking a player who can be a league-winner.
