I agree 100% with what you said about FT and I kinda cleared up my opinion in a lower post. I think Kaufusi is going to get to the line a lot with his style of play (if he keeps it in check) resulting in those increased trips to the line.

I know Emery needs to be viewed as a Freshman as well, and I don't throw my high expectations of him out the window with a few poor outings like some on CB seem to do on any given player who has ups and downs. But I do feel he already has shown greater ability than Winder and Dobby.

As young as he is, though he has his faults as should be expected from a young player. He is already at the skill level of a common mid to mid-high player from past teams.

And on top of that shows glimpses and desires to lead that most don't.

Yes Kyle is undoubtedly the MVP but lacks the type of team leadership skill Haws had or Jackson Emery. He's an amazing player and will go down in history as an all time great but traditional "team leadership" isn't something's every guy has. Kyle leads through court play, hustle and , and overall play making ability. You can just tell he's not that traditional "team rallies around him" guy.

I think that's due just as much the team trying to find identity and the lack of need for it on past teams with Tyler Jimmer and Jackson bring there as it is his leadership style.

So long story short I see the "IT" factor of team rally type leadership showing glimpses in Nick
