Kenny

["Gene Kirkpatrick" <gkir@tjc.tyler.cc.tx.us>]

I'll watch the tape tonight, but I didn't get the impression that
Kenny wanted to shoot first.  I felt he maneuvered around all he could
trying to make a pass, and then got his shot when necessary.  Had he
hit 50% of those short runners (as Pierce hit 90%) we would be
praising him.  Given some time I think his scoring will pick up (his
jumpers are usually on target, but short) and that will help his
passing game.  Fourteen shots is not terribly high.

I am impressed by J. Williams of Sac and Hughes of Philly.  But
neither have the various talents of Pierce.  So far, only Carter of
the Raps is a formidable ROY opponent.

By the way, I sort of expect us to be 1-2 on the short road trip.  I
hope I'm wrong, but Sac. is explosive and strong at #1 and
#5--offensively.  And Portland is tough, too.
