[DoctorV]

Your table amongst the stars is set.

Continue to earn yourself a seat young man.

He's been awesome this year. Very under control.

[Johnny B]

if he were more athletic hed getting drafted this year.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Under appreciated is the fact that his defense is much improved.

Very much improved.

You're joking, right?

[Goose]

His D is vastly improved and letting the shot he blocked go out of bounds was high IQ play. Plus, I love ten second violations and shot clock violations.

[brewcity77]

Defense and driving has transformed his game. Incredible in season improvement and it's only December.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

If only Kam had a little more confidence...

[Tha Hound]

Just an absolute monster of a player. Only a sophomore by the way...

[Small Orange Soda]

If he can keep getting to the rim like that and converting he's gonna be a massive problem for opposing defenses.

Makes up for his lack of explosiveness with craftiness and touch.  Can score near the basket from a variety of angles and using both hands. 

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Kam is outperforming several higher ranked sophomore guards.  A real gem.

[Shooter McGavin]

Pay the man!!!

[brewcity77]

His defense is really improving. On and off the ball. That shot clock killing block today was awesome.

Coachable. He is understanding that there are two ends of the floor, and his shot selection is 98% better.

This.  Yes. He is not launching much from outer space after the Shaka talk.    Which is a good thing.   Much better shot selection.   And results.  And Dr ing, even tho against ND who is not good defensively, showed poise and pizazz. 

[brewcity77]

He did have one early in the shot clock space shot tonight, but considering how good the other looks were, I can live with it.

[Mu8891]

He's a great player

For the love of God let's not say STOOPID $hit about him getting drafted...

Kudos to Shaka for getting on him for the deep 3s and to Kam for responding the way he has. You can almost see him get tempted every once in a while to jack a long one, but he'll usually give a little pump fake and explore a drive. Impressive to adapt so quickly.

[BLWarrior91]

He's a modern day Earl Monroe.  Can score from outside and has those craft spin moves to get to the rim.  So fun to watch his game grow.

[MuggsyB]

I believe I saw a right handed Kam finger-roll today?  Or am I mistaken?

[MU82]

It was a layup, but yes. I was impressed.

[MuggsyB]

DId Wilt invent the finger-roll?  Gervin seems to be the gold standard.

Not even close.
