Kadary

Will Kadary over the course of the season make the Johnnies better and lead them to some Dance success is the question. I assume so and hope our return on investment is evident in March.

Maybe I should have said “assumed” v assume

Pretty much every important metric is down from last season and check out how bad they are in the 3 tier A+B games (New Mexico, Baylor, Georgia). To me, the numbers indicate he's not adjusting well to not being the focal point of the offense every game. That was a concern with the roster construction heading into the season and something Pitino is going to have to figure out

Kadary with his best game against Harvard.

Not sure that he has the ball initiating offense enough when Smith plays with him. Need Smith for speed of play and looks at open 3’s, but need Kadary to do what only he can do in the lane.

Can Pitino figure out a way to get the best out of both of them, or is this the Island of Misfit Toys? Need the best of both to be top 3 in league and Dance this year. No evidence yet that they can play together.

Exactly. It's tough to play with 2 PGs who operate at different speeds. Either make Kadary the SF and let Smith run a fast-break offense or make Smith instant offense off the bench, give Kadary the ball in the middle of the floor, and let him score or break defenses with the pass which is what he does well.

The "eh let's play them both and things will work out" approach is not promising thus far.

I still don't understand why they don't have Kadary flash to the foul line and feed him. He is unstoppable from there without doubling or tripling him and then he'd get a ton of assists or get to the foul line. Are they saving this for the Big East or something?
