Lots comments I agree with and some I do not agree with in this thread. Players will always be criticized by fans and sometimes put on a pedestal of optimism by those who hope/see a leap in progress. The thing about KJ I most admired is that he never seemed to put his head down when he got yanked due to his mistakes - he seemed to understand that he made a mistake. He did not make as much progress as I was hoping for, but JB's system isn't the most freshmen friendly.

One thing that definitely stood out to me was how much time he got on the floor. Yes, there were not many options, but I can't recall when a player who wasn't consistent get that much play time in JB's system. Its all conjecture as to what KJ will do in his sophomore year, but I agree with JB that KJ's mid-range game is something he needs to focus on (not the dribble and let the defender come to you before you put up the shot) - and to be able to see the floor better ... and to become a better defender.

(Cooney? Yeah, he went under the screen a lot and I am not sure why JB didn't correct him on that all season. Not sure what was going on there).
