No jokes about the size of the icebag please.
Kind of like the South Park kid who had Ass Burgers syndrome

I'm not disputing yours and other's opinions on Khadary's play but I just can't bring myself to disparage a kid or call him lazy. I'll leave that for coach to do in a closed practice or 1 on 1.
Again, not saying you can't say that stuff but it just doesn't feel right to me to say those things about our own guys. I guess I turn a blind eye.
His persona on the court is what it has always been if you've watched him in the past, and I watched him a decent amount, especially last year. My friends who root for the Hall say the same thing. Even last year he had spells of inconsistency, and this is the most talented roster he's ever played with where he doesn't just have the ball all the time. Ultimately, Pitino doesn't mess around. That's the only judge I care about.
Let’s mark all these anti Kadary posts for future reference.

Fordham -1.5 Bryant from the casino tomorrow.
This guy is constantly getting hurt! When he played for us he was constantly injured! Frankly it was quite annoying! I was thrilled when he left!
One thing I believe he had was long Covid.
Yes. He was ill. Not his fault. Also horribly misused by Anderson.
He was a poor fit here for what Anderson wanted to do, not dissimilar to Soriano with Pitino. Or arguably Dingle with Pitino. Sometimes the fit is just wrong despite the potential production

Bill was a great guy! We were in a couple of clubs together. There was a muscle on his body!

I don’t think it’s that Devion and Khadary haven't meshed, I think the problem is that the two can’t co exist well on the court together as both need the ball to be effective. (Can you say Posh and Curbelo?) my question is why is Rick so much harder on Devion then Khadary? It’s seems pretty obvious who is not just playing/shooting better but who has a greater impact on the team.

This is not a fair comparison. Neither Devon nor Kadary can juggle and they both hate popcorn. But there still merit to your point.
Nothin materialized the first 20 seconds of the shot clock- you rather have Kadary or RJ go to work?
Kadary with the ball by a mile. Luis I like when he's balanced and getting his within the flow. I don't love him creating. I think Luis in the low post is one of the best looks in basketball.
Kadary has received the unfriendliest whistle I've ever witnessed through 10 games. He draws everyone to him.
I kinda see Smith as a poor man's Iverson; ok, a very poor man's Iverson.
Smith plays the game at su h a different speed that he gets up and down the court at breakneck speed. He can throw down an alley oop or a putback that had you thinking it must have been Luis or Zuby. He draws such attention that assists to wide open teammates pile up.
I haven't looked at turnovers but subsequently his mistakes become glaring at times. Generally makes good decisions but not always.
Khadary, as you say, doesn't need points to be effective. He rebounds, passes, and can take the ball to the hoop using his strength and body control. I'm with you on this one.
A subway car sleeping- middle of the Summer - no AC - causing the entire car to be empty.... version of Iverson....
But agree... I want more minutes for Smith
