Kadary “Swiss Army Knife” Richmond...

[315tillidie]

he’s my favorite player since MK23

As board arbiter of nicknaming, I propose that a simplification to "Swiss" Richmond may ultimately be where the nickname lands, and what could work best.

Alternatively, he may prove himself worthy of Thickburger.

Swiss Richmond works well.

Swiss Richmond works well.

Well, yes, this is why I do what I do.

I like Kadary 2600. Younger millenials, this ain’t for you to get. Sorry. Just go with it.

K-Swiss?

It works, the issue is, he shouldn't be providing product endorsements for free.

 

[Irt4su]

Lets call him Spurtle...it does everything

i think u got it. no, not swiss richmond. call him mitch richmond...or call him the general because of his last name and the civil war.

now if you want to call marek a swiss army knife i would be down with that.

Kadary had that little in-n-out left handed dribble coming downhill at the top of the key to get in the lane (I think he got fouled?)... they showed it on a replay, it was so subtle & smooth it just creates space & keeps the defenders off balance, even when he looks like he’s at 50% speed. Great to have a guard who can get after it on the bounce, a much needed & complimentary skill set

edit: I may turn it into a gif an upload it here in a bit if I can find it

Why can’t they both play solid minutes. I like Joe on the floor late in the game. He makes foul shots. He’s a weapon late in games.

He can also be a liability on D.

They need to put KR in after the first 3/4 minutes so we dont dig a hole every game. If JG is hot right away give him run.

They should just...start him. Bring JG in for one of them within the first 7-8 minutes and see if he’s hot. Give him run at both guard spots to give those guys a rest and go from there. IMO.

yep..that would seem to be the most reasonable play to me

Pearl. That’s kinda what his game reminds me of.

Blasphemy I know. But kinda accurate right?

 

[kidorange]

Bring him off the bench and give him minutes like Dion. Call him The Stimulator. The nickname might help him in the dating world too.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Kadary is way better at D in the zone, that's a big deal, Kadary should get the minutes, Joe off bench as sharpshooter to spell Buddy and then play point to give Kadary a rest. If Joe is hitting shots his minutes could increase

Yeah.

We'd start the game better on defense, and we give up some outside shooting, but add more playmaking.

It almost seems too easy.

 

[DoctorBombay]

K-Swiss?

Bingo!

 

[Cusesky8214]

When is the last time we had a guard block so many 3pt shot attempts? I can think of at least 4 or 5 that kadary has had this year already with those long arms. MCW like.

Not really. Pearls handle was as good as anyone who has ever played the game. Im not sure who Kadary reminds me of. Kid is smooth as silk. As his shot improves he is going to become a force.

Seems like he gets his fingers on many passes. He’s a threat to cause a deflection on every possession.

I thought the same. Something about it reminds me. He’s obviously no Pearl but like many great guards, he plays so smooth that he looks like he’s playing slower than he is. But he’s got another element that MCW didn’t in terms of his distribution skills.

Kadary at the 7:15 mark of the first half showed off his ability to attack off the bounce and score, which he demonstrated a ton in high school. He crossed over his defender on the perimeter, went behind the back for another change of direction, got into the lane and finished with his left hand. The kid has been mostly reluctant to drive like that so far, but he is fully capable. Once he gains more confidence, he’s really gonna help our offense thrive. And once Bourama gets back and into game shape, hopefully our defense will improve substantially.
