Kadary

I really don't see a problem with Kadary snd Deivon existing in the same backcourt. In fact I think they can compliment each other while being different types of athletes.

In transition, Smith and Luis become potent weapons, and the way Zuby runs the floor can be a finisher or mop up guy. Kadary least effective starter on the break.

In the half court, Kadary is one of the best guards in the league. His offensive ability, passing and decision making 16 feet and in are unmatched. With Scott's range and Luis and Zuby able to take it to the rack, Smith is the least effective starter.

Smith plsys a high speed, high wire game. When we can run, he becomes more valuable. When the going gets rough however, teams that can be effe tive in halfcourt often prevail. That's Kadary.

Both are great rebounders, both pass well, both can swipe, ands both block shots. Nod to Kadary who can hold his own again big men.

Controversy? Not by a long shot. Kadary, who can shoulder more of an offensive load when needed, is happy to fill a boxscore without scoring 18-20 points.

Lobster and filet mignon really don't belong together, do they? One lives on land the other a bottom.feeder. but as different as they are, damn they are good together.

This is exactly correct.

Plus, Kadary and Deivon only need to play about 20 minutes together a game.

Well I am, we just disagree. Effort has nothing to do with patience.

Good point. Poor effort is no way to endear oneself to a fanbase.

Still even if you combine Matt Brust type effort with NBA level skill there will always be a blind outlier or two that just irrationally has it in for you. I.e. last year and our beloved Mr. Jenkins.
 
It's Wednesday. Do you know where your children will be Saturday at 12?

The 100's and 200's are almost completely sold. The 300's and Bridges are selling now. I don't think they've opened 400's yet but don't quote me on that.

Come on Johnnies, scoop them up before the drunk college kids on metro north do.

Absolutely. Especially with Prey having three more years of eligibility and providing excellent defense. Sometimes less is more.

NO INFO at all but I believe Prey is going to be a popular player if he decides to stay in college. Hopefully he stays because it doesn’t take a basketball savant to understand what an important piece he has become.

I agree with both of you, and still think this free throw thing is a fluke (as well as the missed bunnies), so we'll be happy to have a certified closer at the end of games.

But one thing that has to be said about the Kadary/Smith thing is that this is a rich team's problem. We talk about it on the board like it's any other problem our prior teams have had, but both of those guys are probably be our best guards since Ponds (and he came with his own flaws....)

How
how do you like me now kevin g GIF
 
In fairness to most posters concerned about Kadary early play, he had his struggles and was not in prime shape, as Pitino noted several times. To Kadary’s credit he worked out and practiced aggressively to catch up conditioning wise, not an easy task. The bottom line is he put himself in great position to lead this team as his recent play has shown. Win/win for the team and fans.

What I've really come to appreciate about Kadary is that while his game can be a bit unorthodox in some areas, he appears totally unfazed at all times, and presents a sense of calm no matter the moment, and that is pretty rare.

Pretty easy when you are a Cyborg 😉😊
 
Here are two facts

Kadary didn’t play well early this season

Kadary was an absolute dawg today. His most complete game as a Johnnie.

Also another fact which I couldn’t believe but is true. He’s never hit more than two 3s in game in his career.

That all said keep playing like you did today.
