I don't think that he should shoot more. He gets open shots and makes the most of them. Yes, he sometimes doesn't back himself to shoot, but I don't think that's always a bad thing. If only guys like Cadee and Webster did that occasionally!

I think Kenny's strength is being able to hit the open three, but the last thing I want to see if him jacking up too many shots. Its not his role.

Agree he has been a great find though

He should not shoot more.
He's effective because he takes good shots. If he gets a perimeter look early in the offence he'd rather pass it up and keep probing for a better-percentage option. It's working for him, and he should stick with it IMO.

Dazz should Post less

Great pick up by Gleeson.

Kenny was a fantastic pick up.

If there was an award for "Player who is playing their expected role the best", Kenny is a dead-set winner.

Don't necessarily agree with the claims that "Kenny should shoot more" - The reason why he is shooting such good percentages is because he is only taking very good shots when he is wide open and he isn't forcing it.

He knows if he can only stick to good looks, he can go 2/4 from 3 quite comfortably.

If he was to take more shots, some of those wouldn't be open and he would probably go 2/6 from 3 or worse.

He is extremely smart and IMO every young kid and even seasoned professionals could learn a thing or two about 'playing the %'s' and playing efficiently and within your limits. Not looking at anyone in particular - cough Ced Jackson cough.

"If there was an award for "Player who is playing their expected role the best", Kenny is a dead-set winner."

^^ This is pure crap. He wouldn't be in the top 50

How so?

He is doing everything asked/expected of him every game.

Randle is probably the other one.

Can't say that about many others IMO.

Kenny likes to pass it around. He definetly had more opportunities to shoot the other night but was content to go around the perimeter.

He IS playing his assigned role very well, and nobody wants to see him suddenly transform into one of those guys who just keeps jacking up bricks in the hopes that one will eventually drop.
BUT, he needs to work on his confidence. He seems to only shoot when there is absolutely no other choice, and yet so often under those circumstances he drains it. Is it because he's more relaxed in those scenarios?
My point is that the guy CAN shoot, and with a bit of confidence he could do so more often.

I haven't seen him play for the TB's nor in the NZNBL. So I don't know if his reluctance to shoot has simply been enforced by Gleeson, or has been engrained over years.

He's 100% from three quarter court. Should shoot more from there.

Lol, he must read this forum.

Dudes been jacking up shit shot after shit shot this game.
My god, delivering what his role is?? LOL

ROFLcopter, you sound like a man with a bad case of tall poppy syndrome.

"Dudes been jacking up shot after shot this game" - What? Because 6 Field Goal attempts is really 'jacking up' shots isn't it.

Kenny is averaging, shooting 53.6 from FG, 46.3 from 3 and 77.8 from the FT line.

Kenny is playing an average of 23.8 mpg and averaging 6.3ppg.

Incidentally, that's 23.8mpg and 6.3ppg more than yourself.

He didn't play well last night.
Was just interesting to note he put up more shots than usual on the day a thread was started about him. Coincidence I'm sure, but entertaining nonetheless.

My basketball figures are completely off topic so best we don't derail this thread.

ROFLcopter, do you think the fact that he put a few more shots than usual could have been in any way due to Prather, the Cats leading scorer, being out? No, you're right, its probably because he read this forum.

I don't know about having him shooting more but if I could have him do anything more it would be working on his dribble penetration, whether that be getting to the hole itself or drawing a defender before getting it to Jervis/Jawai/Knight.

From what I've observed of him, the opposition don't expect him to do it and he can be quite affective.

Vodka 63, you totally missed the point of my post.
II'm not surprised.
