Kam was definitely getting better, the issue is, his is defense was really bad. Pretty much gave up whatever he got. For the life of me, I honestly cannot remember if he improved there or not for some reason. I just remember watching his defense off ball and he would get twisted up over his own feet. It was bad.

He finally began to hit shots though, but I don’t think he plays anyway. If he does it’ll be a few minutes and out, and Oweh and MO in a tournament wouldn’t pass it to him much anyway. If he hits 1 or 2 they’ll say it’s my turn and go black hole. Oweh has been allows to shoot with a green light and he’s got scouts to impress. It’s almost over for him. He’s not doing much passing now anyway. It’s gonna be live and die with Oweh gettin his. No chance Kam comes back up to speed and kills it. He’s never got up to speed anyway, and this is playing really good teams in a tournament. You can forget that being a big impact.

I guess Kam is gonna come in hit enough threes to offset Popes subbing, offset oweh hoggin offset Black HO MO..etc. hope he’s a psychiatrist too, gonna get these guys on some coping skills and teach them to communicate with each other. He’s the only one who can get Oweh to stop playing risky defense….only one who can get penetration…..gonna help Moreno develop some balls…. They say he can get Oweh passin to Chandler. That’s what I’m ready for, but mostly just the fact that when he’s back we’ll be good and conditioned. It’s what we’ve been missing. His injury has killed us. He’s the top 1 of the top 3 of the top 6.

This ^ is SOOOOO true. Oweh will be going 1 against 9 in the few games he has left. This is his NBA dress rehearsal and he’s going to make it all about him. People that think we have a ‘team’ are nuts. We all see it and our own player even said it after the Florida game. Why can some people still NOT see this ?

I mean Yela flat said it out loud and people still argue it. Oweh is a black hole who’s killed offensive flow all year with his pull up shots. There’s no telling what Chandler would had right now if he was actually trying to create for him. No telling how good we’d be if Oweh had decided to play as a team unit and been an actual leader. I really don’t know how it’s gone so unnoticed. Oweh is a cancer. Yes we have to have him going off now because he is not going to allow anyone but himself to do so. Oweh on Kansas (he reminds me of a Kansas player too) and we’d all see it.

Ridiculous take
We know that’s what he’s saying. What Kam brings isn’t close to what our problem is. Him going out actually fixed some of our problems lol. We have a better shooter than him in chandler and as you see it doesn’t matter they don’t create for him and Mark doesn’t even try to design for him. I mean what does it matter? Now Mark gets an extra sub to take someone out when they’re hot?

We can play Kam and Chandler together on the floor. Give Kam the bulk of Jelavic and Mo's minutes. He can at least stretch the floor (Jelavic wasn't even doing that even though he's supposed to be a shooter). Kam was shooting 3s much better by the time he went down and he was defending better as well. He has the length to guard. He had several good blocked shots as the year went on prior to going down.

Nah I get the scheming. But I think our issues run so deep and coaching is so poor traditional scheming opportunities isn’t going to make much difference at this point. Not to mention, team has crazy chemistry issues and Oweh isn’t going to defer anyway. We simply will live and die this way now.

IIRC Kam’s injury (Jones fracture) is the same
injury as Kerr Kriisa’s last year. If true, then all the rumors about Kriisa sitting out so he could obtain a medical redshirt are well founded.

I already saw an article that said Pope is planning on substituting liberally to keep the players fresh for the tournament.

Sounds like a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.
He’s already been doing that. Probably have the whole team dizzy running in and out so damn much.
