And as a much as folks on the list are willing to write K. Brown off, .he is
still a young player.. McCarty was an awful player for the majority of his
career and he is only now starting to make a contribution. And thats no
exaggeration..I think people tend to forget just how BAD McCarty was. You
want to talk about clueless? That guy practically wrote the book and now , I
have to say I have been genuinely impressed with his play from time to time.
I remember how bad McCarty used to be. He was so bad I think I called him
the stupidest player I've ever seen on the professional level. But McCarty,
for all his stupidity, had one thing over Kedrick: he never lacked energy
or desire, something Kedrick has yet to exhibit to a significant degree.
That's what bothers me. He doesn't make a lot of stupid mistakes, he plays
very good D, yet is so timid, he's basically a non-factor on offense. Never
mind his (missing) shot, which probably is also the result of lack of
confidence. With his athletic ability, he should score 10 ppg just on
hustle alone - putbacks, alley-oops and such. Yet he doesn't. He just
saunters about, never sprints on fast break, never takes initiative on
offense.
