Kadary Richmond...

[Orangezoo]

My comp for KR is Jamal Crawford. Anyone else see it?

I still go with Shai G-Alexander. I think Richmond's perimeter shot improves as the year goes on.

 

[NateW]

Caps and repeating yourself sold me. Kudos to you. Let's talk in 10 games. This is Cooney all over again. Call him what you will but the kid can play.

The guy is on an epic crusade right now

 

[Cusefan0307]

He won’t be one and done just because where he’s ranked, but he’s better than a lot of our other one and doners...

 

[PauliePeppas]

My comp for KR is Jamal Crawford. Anyone else see it?

I do...not as quick but extremely similar style/build

 

[Orangezoo]

2021 NBA draft appears deep unless Richmond blows up and if he blows up we will have a great year he isn’t going to be a 1 and done.

For once it would be nice to have a kid have a great Frosh year at PG and come back to a truly even more loaded team the following year. I know how it works but still... we are due.

 

[Alsacs]

He certainly can

You watched the Louisville football game? How could Girard be worse?

Another thing I noticed with Kadary is hes not crazy fast but I think he's one of those guys who has that change of pace thing going on and is hard to guard. Very good ball handling skills and looks have good body control/positioning when driving to the hoop etc. I'm trying to think of a good player comparison for him but I'm struggling...who has one? Let's hear em!

yeah that's a good call. I could see that.

I know people will say it’s Niagara. But our best lineup will be

Richmond
Buddy
Griffin
Quincy
Marek
Our defense will be so much better with this lineup as well. More length at the top of the zone and Richmond is very scrappy.

yes Richmond and Woody played great today. But let’s talk about Quincy, this kid has really taken a step forward so far this season. We have a lot of pieces on this team that can do a lot of different things. Buddy played well the first game, Quincy has been a monster the 2 games, you know what you get from Marek, Richmond looks great even the first half of last game, Woody came in and gave some solid minutes tonight.
Only negatives so far JG3’s play has been Brutal, I think he’ll figure it out to good of a player not too. Our centers haven’t produced and our defense still needs work. We know our defense always gets better throughout the season, I’m confident JG3 will figure it out, we just have to get those centers to produce then I really like what this team is capable of doing.

The question is CuseMan4 - when Buddy gets back .. will Kadary get those kind of minutes?

I don’t wanna say James Harden because obviously it’s a different skill set ... but it looks effortless

 

[Orangezoo]

yeah that's a good call. I could see that.

I get what you mean with Crawford too. I always thought Jamal was a bit bouncier but its been a minute since I watched him play.

I agree with this 5. I think that will be our strongest line up when the dust settles.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Well we are going to need Joe to play well. It doesn’t matter these next few games.

 

[Orangezoo]

yeah that's a good call. I could see that.

that double clutch underhand lefty layup sure was Harden esque. By the end of that game KR could pass as a senior.

 

[Alsacs]

Could we see some minutes of
Richmond-Griffin-Guerrier-Dolezaj-Sidibe on the floor together?

This would be our most athletic team.

 

[NineOneSeven]

You watched the Louisville football game? How could Girard be worse?

Easily. This is d1 football. I’m probably taking your point too literally but yes it would be worse.

Billy Edelin with more burst and flashier moves.

Maybe. Griffin doesn't look super comfortable at the 2 yet. Honestly I think he like Joe needs to find himself a bit. He will get there. Very similar to Hughes in year 1 where he was good but was feeling his way through the year at first.

 

[Alsacs]

Easily. This is d1 football. I’m probably taking your point too literally but yes it would be worse.

I don’t think Girard would let the world on fire. I just think our QB situation is in a place he couldn’t do worse.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Andre Jackson tho

WHO?!!

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Kadary means “hope” in Swahili.

 

[NateW]

And best rebounding... probably best defensive also... shooting feels like it wouldn’t hold up though. Q can shoot but at what volume?

Crawford had some of the most elite off the dribble moves of all time. He had that thing on a string.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

My comp for KR is Jamal Crawford. Anyone else see it?

I see it but Crawford had a hell of a jumper & range beyond the arc even in college. Kadary could certainly get there though, his mechanics look very similar.

 

[GoSU96]

All 3 guards must play accordingly.

the three of them spit the 80 minutes, what’s so hard about that?

this is the way
