in fairness to mal, had he come in with a ranking of Edwards or even white, we would have been impressed early and accepting the more recent results. add to it the dumping the huskies for us, and the kid could do no wrong until he started doing everything wrong. I remember rick barnes telling me that forbes wanted no part of playing the point at the end of his career b/c his confidence was shot early in his career. unfortunately it's getting worse every minute, so until we start blowing someone out and he can just play, he can't play.

Was Kyron a Top 50 who spurned UCONN for PC. Enough of the comparisons of apples and oranges. Unfortunately MAL has not been able to provide a valuable 3-4 minutes per half to rest Kyron. That is not a lot to ask or expect of a top 50 player. Will he get better next year and the year after, one would have to think he only has upward improvement from here. I think he will. Just isn't going to happen this year. Use him in blowouts and Edwards probably should take his few MPG from here on out. MAL needs to take a mulligan for this year and start from scratch next year..
....gotta love friartown...

this isn't about the expectations at this point. those are finished. he's simply not playable. it gets worse every time he plays. some pointed 2 FTs at marq as a good game.
the kyron #s were posted to point out that he can he can get to "fine". it ain't a lock and he needs to bust his ass to do it..kyron also had the help of shamgod. not saying we need Wells, but I'm not sure who fills that role on this staff.

I remember a game at the Dome a few years back where Robert McIver literally couldn't dribble it past half court without turning it over. We know how things worked out for him at Houston so I guess anything is possible.

McKiver is a great example.
I saw him scrimmage the first week he arrived for summer session. He couldn't get half court then either.
