Jenkins would be competing with Ayo for PT on this team.

I mean, you're entitled to your opinion. You could be of the opinion that Mullin is a better coach than Pitino too, if you want.

I don’t believe that Lawman for the simple reason that Pitino loves guys who know his system. He doesn’t trust guys who don’t have a total grasp of it unless he’s forced to. Jenkins knew his system inside and out from the years he played for him. He would start on this in the early season. Whether it would be like that come January I don’t know. But, in my opinion, Jenkins was very under appreciated here. He was a hell of a player for us. We win that Georgia game if he was our lead guard. His grit and determination are missed this year so far.

Not only that but , let’s face it , Richmond has played for 2 HOF Coaches, Boeheim and Pitino and1 newer Coach Shaheen Holloway who is a very good Coach on his way to making his mark up the ladder .

None of the 3 seemed able to fix or improve
any of his skills that need work . As far as we can tell at this point .
He’s gotten a big payday but , you can take it to the bank , he’s not going to be in the NBA next year . Maybe G league .

So far , he hasn’t delivered any evidence that he’s the difference maker on this team . Frankly , he’s been a pretty big disappointment .
Poor handle , no outside shot , slow in the lane with no burst to rid a defender.

Plus , with Richmond , Smith , Luis on the Court together , there is only 1 Basketball for them to share . Their skills are not complimentary to each other .

What made Pitino think he was going to fix Kadary when Holloway and Boeheim couldn’t ?

I do not see him with G league skills

Kadary was first team all Big East last year and the main reason Hall deserved to dance so don't think Holloway would complain about what he got from him. As far as NBA potential, really don't see how that matters one lick with respect to his value to our team. Lots of players who were excellent college players and key to their teams last year such as Armando Bacot, Daniss Jenkins & Tristan Newton are either in the G League or warming their team's bench with no PT this year; completely different game.
He's not a shooter but that doesn't mean he can't be a huge difference maker for us; he's had a couple of bad games recently, but a little early to start writing him off imho. Does need to tighten up his passing and dribbling and get on the floor after loose balls, but I believe he will - time will tell.

So if no coach was able to improve Kadary..how did he wind up pre season all big east this year? And why did the experts say he was the no 1 guard in portal this year? I guess his native talent is just that good?

How is that crazy? Kadary had the same amount of turnovers as he had points. He was 1-8 from the field and 1-3 from the line. He had a well below replacement level game. Any average D1 level guard would have won that game for us had they played in place of Kadary on Sunday. It's not really debatable

Jenkins numbers last year vs Kadary this year.

ORating
Jenkins 114
Kadary 98

eFG%
Jenkins 51.2%
Kadary 46.7%

Assist Rate
Jenkins 32.3
Kadary 25.6

TO Rate (lower is better)
Jenkins 17.8
Kadary 24.3

Blk rate
Jenkins 1.9
Kadary 2.0

Steal rate
Jenkins 3.0
Kadary 2.7

Jenkins numbers last year are straight up lapping Kadary's numbers so far this year and 4 of Kadary's 7 games have been against sub 100 KP teams. There's no doubt the team would be better through the first 7 games with Jenkins instead of Kadary and we probably win the Georgia game with Eugene Lawrence instead of Kadary, let alone Daniss Jenkins.

Going forward I expect Kadary to significantly improve (at least I really hope he does) but to this point he's been vastly underperforming what Jenkins was last year.
