OB
might be forced to play him as Kenny is unable to be effective for 20+ mins.
a night and Milt might be the only other "effective?" offensive weapon. Just
writing that makes me want to take a shower.

Thanks for the support.  I've got about 6 hours before Tammo contradicts us,
so let's build an argument.

No one should expect Kenny to play more than 20 min.  Wish he could be
seeing himself as a mentor, but Randy's in the tub, Milt's hurling up 3's
and Herron's wearing Walter's Walkman.  I'm hoping that he takes a shine to
Joseph Forte, and is given a chance to develop him as a protege.

I know one thing:  Kenny came here and showed real PG leadership for the
second half of the season in which he was traded mid-way.  The next year, PP
joined the fray and Mercer, Walker and Paul each had to prove that they were
"The Man" and fired up shots from the perimeter all night.  Kenny finally
got tired of waiting for a cutter and passing away from the basket, and
decided to shoot a few for himself.  The rest is history.  As much as I like
PP and his game, he came to a fragile team in the wrong position.  Should he
have been traded as a draft pick?  No way, his value wasn't proven, and RP
couldn't have maxed his ROI, but the chemistry between AW, RM and PP
couldn't have been worse.  It was the beginning of RP's demise, and all
because a #2 pick fell to #10.
