Why is their best player only playing 25 minutes?

 

[tzznandrew]

Augustin's +/- was -44 in 32 minutes. Holy hell.

Kemba's was -5, but wow.

 

[UCHuskies08]

They really have the worst roster in the league.

Corey Maggette and a fat Boris Diaw are their only established veterans. And if that wasn't sad enough, Maggette has been out the majority of the year.

My UConn Men's BBall therapy, however, involves destroying people on XBox Live with Kemba and the Bobcats.

 

[champs99and04]

-44? Our good friend Corey Maggette was not far behind at -39.

 

[kobebeanbryant]

were kemba and aj matched up at all?

 

[blackbird]

Yea, but when AJ got in the game (end of the first) it was already a blow out..

Last time they played each other, there was a bit of a "husky moment"...AJ ran Kemba off of a screen, hard. Kemba reacted to it (in pain, he got hit in the face) so AJ turned around to see if Kemba was all right..and lost the ball.

having Corey Maggette actually play isn't a plus for a team. all he does is iso and then run into defenders hoping to get to the line, there isn't a player I hate more to watch attempt to play basketball than Maggette. Also, there's duckery like this:

Whats your gamertag? Ill play you.

Kemba's was -5, but wow.

That's pretty damn good in a game they lost by 35.

The one thing I've been noticing with Kemba that has really impressed me - well, two things, really - he isn't forcing things. His turnovers are really low. Usually no more than 1 or 2 per game. And he is shooting the ball pretty well, so he isn't forcing shots, either.

Its a crying shame he is stuck on such a disaster of a team.

He's shooting 37%, wouldn't really consider that shooting it well. That said, he doesn't appear to be having much trouble getting his shot off, which is a good thing. It seems to me that he's just missing shots he was hitting last year. I have seen a lot of improvements in his passing since the begginning of the season though. If he can bring those shooting percentages up to 42% I think he'll be a very good player...a 20-7-4 type guy.

 

[imno1]

Too bad Kemba isn't on the Knicks and playing in that system.

 

[Giddyup5]

ehh I don't think Kemba is a good enough passer to be effective in the Knick's system. I never thought Kemba was a great pick and roll PG.

 

[CTFIRERETIRED]

Hey Kemba are you regretting the decision to come out, after playing with this bunch of misfits.

 

[UConn990411]

ehh I don't think Kemba is a good enough passer to be effective in the Knick's system. I never thought Kemba was a great pick and roll PG.

Uh, he's at least as good a passer as Jeremy Lin, who seems to be doing just fine in the Knicks' system.

It's amazing to me how even some UConn fans seem to think Kemba has no PG ability.

 

[JellyBean]

It is amazing how terrible this team is. It is scary.

My god...that doesn't even happen in pick up games where kids are wearing t-shirts (not uniforms). I mean wow

I'm talking more recently than the whole season. From my quick looks at the box scores he's not regularly going 1-9. That's what I mean. Considering how bad Charlotte is, I have expect to see him trying to do too much, ending up shooting 25% with 5 turnovers every game. I'm impressed with his restraint under such lousy circumstances.

He's had some good shooting games lately, agreed. In his last three games he's shot 20/45, right around 44% I believe.

That said, count me as one of the guys who wants to see him shoot 25 times a game on this team.

 

[TheChamps990411]

ive seen kemba play twice this year and hes looked pretty good. i think he`s going to be a really really good pg...once he leaves charlotte.

Or they draft about 3-5 legit NBA players. They have maybe 3 right now and one plays Kemba's position.
