Kennedy has had maybe four or five opportunities this year on the fast break and has not looked that comfortable in any of those situations (including this past week against Hopkins). Not sure what the issue is, maybe he feels like he's out of position since there is an urgency for him to get back and play defense, but he hasn't been making good decisions.  Maybe he would have more opportunities if he was playing midfield, but I don't think that is why he is struggling. He can still get up the field in a hurry and on a number of plays he's had open looks.  His mind just might be working overtime trying to adapt to a new role?

Would have thought the ssdms would be putting up more points, but I do think a lot of teams are making a concerted effort to get back on D (hence why the Orange clearing % is so high).

Agree on the tinkering point - although I must remind myself I was pushing for the staff to shake up the midfield units and now that looks silly given how well the first unit has been playing. Cook looked like he might lead the team in scoring during fall ball/spring scrimmages so we might just have to give him more time to make a bigger impact.
