It definitely isn't. I only did it to underline why Kadary's development this year is so important.

Sometimes you should leave well enough alone. You don't fix Jim Furyk's swing because it looks weird, you let him go out and win the US Open. He shot 80% from the line and went there 4.6 times a game last year before anyone tried to fix him. Just let him be a first team big east player, don't try to make him a jump shooter.
Just maybe Kadary want to be a better outside shooter, so he has a shot at the NBA.

Well they ain't ever happening.
Kadary was literally fouled every single time he touched the ball in the Georgia game — usually more than once. The refs completely lost control of that game and allowed reach-ins start to finish.
Every time one of our guys drove the ball there would be 2-3 players swiping aggressively at the ball low getting plenty of hand, arm, and body.
That should be factored in. He didn’t just forget how to play basketball.

There was one play in particular going to the hoop where he was absolutely mugged; Gillen couldn’t believe there was no foul called.

Gillen's the biggest St. John's fan behind the microphone.
Only because people on this site brought up his name for every job search of ours. Pat Kennedy loves us also
Which is always a good thing
It was crazy. Plus the leaking roof? I don’t know if anyone here has ever slipped on a wet basketball court before, but you think about it the rest of the game. And it was his 3rd game in 4 days AND he was barely able to walk after the Baylor game.
He was terrible against Georgia. I think he’s been terrific every other game. He could have had 15 assists if our guys were making wide open shots in the Baylor game.
But the absolute worst TV analyst. He said "let the big dog eat" at least 20 times
The Baylor game showed he *can be* as good as any guard in the country, in terms of scoring/getting us a basket when we need it. Its something we haven't had here since Ponds -- but Kadary is a much better all around player + much better size than he ever was.
Conditioning and his free throws are my concern with him.

I’d argue it would be better for him to work at what he is great at and become exceptional then to work exactly as hard as what he is below average at and become average.

Any guard in the country? Just not seeing that at all.
At 23 years old (24 by the start of next season), that ship may have already sailed, at least in terms of the big money.
He’s hosting the National Dog Show right now
Rewatch the first overtime against Baylor then
I couldn’t understand half of what he was saying, talking so fast. Funny guy though
When he was commenting on the amount of turnovers he said something like it was a bakery out there. That made me laugh
