The future

So I wrote a big thing for today about the future of this season, but since the talk is all about next year, let's look at it for a minute.
The biggest key involving Kenny's return (and see the blog below for news on that) is that he makes everyone else better by taking D off them and making them more complimentary guys. Dave becomes the tough guy again and his improved scoring goes from critical to a great bonus. Markeys becomes a great option off the bench or for stretches at a time as a starter.
The backcourt gets to be the backcourt again; Robby doesn't have to be a forward anymore. And the guards can be scorers, not carriers. Huge difference.
HOWEVER.... all this works only if Kenny is back not just physically, but mentally. The only knock he's had since he's been her is that he's too nice on the court. He's as nice a kid you'll ever meet off the court, but on it he must get mean. I go back to that Wagner game last year, when he made that huge play in the lane and screamed as if to say, "get off me, this game is mine." Does he have it in his personality to be the man? We shall see.
