What? Memphis and Nebraska had everything to play for against us. Other teams were playing a top 20 ranked team and some were in the conference tournament when their very season was on the line. What are you talking about?
Im putting my stock in a player who scores at all three levels, no longer has a first team all american taking all of his minutes, is a great defender, and hit big shots at key moments last season when given the opportunity.
Ill give you Memphis and Nebraska but only 8 times last year did KJ score 7 or more but 7 time he also scored 0 so I'm not giving him the # 2 spot and If you want to know the teams he scored 7 or more against it was
UmassLowell-7
USC Upstate-9
Chicago State-10
Nebraska-11
Memphis-7
UCF-8
Rutgers-8
Temple-7
To me those teams are a bunch of nobody's and nothing to play for.
Now look up how many minutes SK played in the biggest games.
I think all BearcatNation was saying was he is still an uncertainty. Just from reading about him I am imagining a 3 point specialist that will play 10-15 minutes a game. Come in running baseline to baseline for open corner threes and have guys kick the ball out to him off drives.
Last year Troy and KJ both impressed me with their range and shooting. Guyn was impressive as well and hit some big ones. The reason I had Cobb on there was just from what I read.
Johnson can easily average double figures, but both him and Troy need to settle in and not force things or they'll be over taken by Cobb and Morman.
KJ could be the next sk but can't even start? wow our future is in big trouble.
You're way too worried about the starting lineup. We have had 1 exhibition game. Long time still to sort things out. Last year we had the same starters all year...I'd bet that won't happen this year. Plus, KJ did start in the Bahamas game, and led the team in scoring I think. So I'm not sure how you can be so sure that he'll never crack the starting lineup this year.
Mick started Moore in the Bahamas come on, and if it wasn't for KJ hitting 3 threes in a row he did nothing else. Also your exactly right Mick started the same lineup all last year and will do it again this year, you start your best players and Mick starts experience. One year of playing 5 minutes a game is not experience, KJ has a lot to learn and is not that good and in game one of the year he's proved me right and a lot of others on here including you wrong so we will see what happens.

Lack of perspective and reality. "If it wasn't for KJ hitting those 3 threes in a row" Uhhh but he did hit those 3 three's in a row and effectively put the game out of reach. The ability to do that is incredibly important. The article also doesnt state he is the next SK, it says he is the favorite to replace him. Who starts is completely meaningless. It is about how many minutes you play and what minutes those are. Drawing any final conclusion from one exhibition game is pure insanity. His performance on Monday night proved no one right or wrong. It is a very small snapshot in a very large picture. The large picture suggests his future is very bright and for the sake of this year's team they are going to need him to be a very good player.
Something I read today! Check it out! This boy can play I flat out know it! I'm at practice everyday! They are closed to some but not me. http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaab/eye...akout-players-for-the-2014-15-season?v=1&vc=1

You have to do more than hit 3 threes in a game against the youth league to take over for SK.
Second you are very wrong about starting not being important, you start your best players. If KJ averages 15 ppg off the bench do you think he starts starting? Ummm yeah he would because he becomes one of the best 5 players.
Thirdly I didn't say I drew a conclusion from one game I'm just saying so far I'm right and others are wrong but maybe next game he will get 15 points who knows.
