<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">LAS VEGAS-Louis Amundson, NBA unknown, stepped back into his personal spotlight Tuesday night, returning to the Thomas & Mack Center as at least a temporary member of the Kings. Whether he becomes an actual King by making it to opening night remains to be seen. But for at least a night, the UNLV product had the chance to play in a most familar setting. "It's real cool," Amundson said. "Obviously, it's everything you could imagine for me." Seeing old friends. Playing on campus again. Being hounded for tickets. "I could only come up with 15," he said. "But I needed a lot more." The story of his current basketball life. Amundson is scraping to make the Kings, too, staying in contention for one of the final roster spots against the long odds of being a power forward on a team that already has Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Maurice Taylor, Kenny Thomas as roster locks, with Corliss Williamson playing there and small forward. "He had a great summer league, and he kind of gives us that dimension that we need," coach Eric Musselman said. "He doesn't need the ball. As a matter of fact, he won't get the ball."</div> Source Amundson plays hard on the court. I like his motor a lot, and I think the Kings should keep him around because he sets a good example. You always like players like Amundson for practices and to challenge the rest of the team. I'm sure Musselman sees a lot of the "Custodian" in Amundson.
coach Eric Musselman said. "He doesn't need the ball. As a matter of fact, he won't get the ball." I like the new coach already.
