Re: McDonough: C's To Walker: Play Well, Create Value, Then We'll Trade You

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

I totally agree.  The season will rise or fall on
Kenny, unless Wayne Turner ends up being the next Bob
Cousy -- another "local yokel" who Red Auerback
bypassed in the draft.  I have my doubts as to that
happening.  No one here as really analyzed Kenny's
game much.  I would welcome some discussion of that,
particularly from people who watched him closely
earlier in his career.  He seems to be a smart player.
 Pitino has said he thinks that "once Kenny figures
out what we're trying to do," he will come aboard.  To
me, that means lots of outlet passes.  In particular,
I would like to see Kenny (and Antoine) bring back the
full court baseball pass, off both defensive rebounds
AND made baskets.  And Kenny should take Cousy' advice
(which he asked for) and penetrate with an eye to
passing.  Also, the pick and roll should be practiced
ad nauseam in training camp.  I really feel like we
can be great this year, with a lottery pick waiting
for us even if we make the playoffs or more!  All of
this if we don't fuck it all up by making foolish
hasty trades.  I apologize for the swearing.
