I usually come here to post football once in a while basketball so I haven't had a chance to get this off my chest.

Why was KK so highly regaurded? He lacks so many things, but IMO he lacks confidence the most. He's 7 foot but like has been said he plays so small, he never uses his size to get after people on the boards. The only time we're ever effective it seems is when Hunter is in the game. We would not be struggling this year if KK would step up and begin playing like we all thought he could. He's a good player but he's got to remember that he's a good player and start being more assertive. Also Diebler needs to find a way to create space, does it seem like everytime he gets the ball there's people all over him?

Lofton misses a 3. (a lot of those for Tenn, they are shooting horribly)
TV timeout as play stops for the ball going over the backboard.

just not playing the right position IMO...

he has to play the post in our system, but it's not where he'll be in the NBA

It takes him out of his offensive game....watch the Greek International basketball highlights, and you see what he excels at

He will be excellent.......hopefully next year he sticks around and we get to see what he's capable of with Mullens playing a true center position
