Weird call out on Kiyan- without any reference to Kingz who will be that guy much more likely and Kiyan will be off the bench.

Yeah - I didn't agree with him calling Kiyan the X-factor this year when determining the success of this team.

I don’t think he meant ‘as Kiyan goes, we go.’ He probably should have referred to Kiyan as a litmus test. He followed up with saying that if Kiyan is a contributor in the ~18 minute realm, good. If we’re relying on him, bad.

So, sure, he’s an x-factor if that means he’s good enough to contribute and that that having quality depth makes us legit.

Yeah I was fine with that just the complete omission of Kingz who is the guy in front of him for good reason was odd. It’s a bit of an assumption that because Kiyan is Melos son that there is unreasonable expectations with him which I would argue no one in our fanbase or local media has been taking such a position.

Also Goodman putting UNC as top tier is laughable. That roster is a mess.

To me it came off as Goodman not having a good pulse of the team. Maybe it was poor wording (x-factor) but to describe potential outcomes for team success somewhat centered around a likely bench player that may or may not get considerable playing time is a stretch and makes me believe he only has a superficial understanding of this team.
