Criticized as an immature player following a poor rookie season, Donte Greene is starting to become a difference maker for the Sacramento Kings.

Greene enjoyed his most productive NBA game Wednesday night, making six 3-pointers and tying a career high with 24 points in helping the Kings lead from start to finish in a 111-97 victory over the New York Knicks.

Greene declared for the NBA draft following one season at Syracuse University. It looked like a mistake to many when Greene played sparingly a year ago, averaging 3.8 points for the NBA's worst team and shooting 32 percent.
