I agree.  I'll criticize Kenny as much as the next guy, as long as 
the next guy isn't Josh or Mark or Forant, but it's true that the 
team is worse with Anderson out.  I wouldn't play him as many minutes 
as Pitino does, but Anderson still provides a legitimate third 
scoring option.

Well, it's not as if the assist stat is the be-all and end-all of the 
effectiveness of the point guard.  What I like about Herren is that 
he's unafraid to take the ball to the hoop, and that he pushes the 
ball up the court.  Plus, a player's not credited with the assist for 
swinging the ball, and that's often just as effective as the pass 
right before the made basket.  Herren does that, too.  Plus, Kenny's 
assist total hasn't been very impressive lately.
