Carlesimo. Wilkins averages nearly 34 minutes, which is second to rookie Kevin Durant. And with the additional time, he has produced results, and is looking to again tonight when the Sonics take their 0-3 record into Sacramento to meet the 0-3 Kings.</p> </p> His scoring average (18.3) has significantly increased as have his rebounds (7.0) and assists (4.0).</p> </p> "Every day, coach is reiterating to me how he wants me to be aggressive," Wilkins said. "He screams at me when I don't take shots. And to me that's kind of new. Last year, I was getting screamed at, or in years past I should say, I was getting screamed at for taking shots. Now he might snatch me out of the game for not taking shots, so that's helping my confidence." -- <font color="#000000">Seattle Times</font></p></div></div>
