This is in no means a knock on Kaleb. I'm a fan of his and expect great things from him as his career progresses. He was expected to apprentice and thus is not yet ready to be a true lead guard/playmaker. He's really come along with turnovers and assists but is playing gun shy especially in the big moments which is the opposite of what you want from your lead guard. Ron is playing late game situations because of defense and IMO willingness to at least try to make a play.

We start both halves bad like clockwork almost every game. You need a lead guard to get you into your stuff early or make a play themselves if nothing is going. We just don't have that this year.

We do have one of the best big guys in the nation, an up and coming PF, a dynamic SF and  2G who can shoot when he has room. Obviously depth is an issue but put Ennis on this team and we are likely right in the mix with all but the few very elite teams.

Making noise this season and beatng any of the better teams is completely dependent on Kaleb letting himself loose. He needs to understand that its better at this point to try and fail than it is to simply be a place holder waiting to see if one of the guys the defense is expecting to get the ball can make a play.

He's going to figure that out st some point and learn as he makes good plays and mistakes but he has to unshackle himself and go for it. We can't beat the better teams until he does IMO.
