NH Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Can you say enough about this kid? He was basically beaten up, hes been on a bum ankle for a year. People yell at him to shoot more. But he just smiles and goes out and does his thing. Teams that win championships have players like Kyle Cassity, talented enough to compete with the big boys and gritty enough to help with the intangibles. Kyle is the man.

For-DaLove Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Couldn't agree more. It seems like Barnett has those same type of qualities, so it will be nice to add him next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pelican Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I think the absence of KM and WR has been the best thing for KC's development. It forced him out of the comfort zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slubilliken09 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 It was great seeing KC showing some attitude tonight. I loved the pretty blatant push off with the elbow he used later on in the second half... could have, probably should have gotten called for it, but damn, he got his vengeance. Loved it.

jimbofive Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 one thing's for sure, despite their deep-dicking ways, SLU's guys have character. KC, you're the man and i'm glad you proved myself and a lot of others wrong. 11-20 from 3 so far this year. HATE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isotope Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I was one of the people who thought that Kyle would not become a really good player. Boy, was I wrong. I doubt he will become a NBA-caliber player, but he is definitely good and very important to this team right now. Way to go Kyle. And I will shut up about my assessment of players' talent.

cheeseman Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I think the absence of KM and WR has been the best thing for KC's development. It forced him out of the comfort zone. I agree with you on that statement. Last night when we were struggling I said to the guys with me that we lack a leader on the floor but I think last night KC may have become that guy. Lets see over the next few games if he continues. His coming back each time he was tripped, decked, and grabbed/knocked really showed great leadership. KC is becoming the player RM expected him to be when he recruited him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy03 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I wonder what the Backhand thinks of the brick thrower now. He doesnt know what to think considering he left early to get his picture taken with Santa. Anyways, great game by Kyle he really showed leadership and was a real warrior out there. Game ball goes to KC, he really showed some balls out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBA potential???? Did you see Crawford last season, that is an NBA player. Geezus, this board is a rollercoaster...we go from ppl wanting to give up their season tickets (eastsidehoe) to KC being an NBA prospect. Lets try to get a hold of our emotions.

Pistol Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 crwaford has a chance to be an nba star. i am talking more about the likes of will bynum, jarret jacks, luke ridnour, earl watson, travis deiner. Roy, Kyle is a long, long way from those guys and I don't think anyone expects him to be as good as any of them. Jarrett Jack is one of the strongest college guards I've seen in person; I mean physically strongest. Luke Ridnour has been a steady NBA player for a while now, averaging about 10 and 6 every season. Travis Diener was an awesome college player, way above Kyle's level by his freshman or sophomore season. Even he didn't play much in the NBA and went to Europe. Will Bynum was a top-50 high school player and really solid college player. Sure, he didn't go straight to the NBA, but he's worked his way there now. Earl Watson may be a journeyman NBA guard, but he was a rare freshman starting guard at UCLA (Baron Davis might be the only other guy who can say that), and a star there. Kyle is not even close to these guys. If Kevin and Tommie don't get NBA chances, there's no way he will. I know he's an Illinois boy who you liked long before he stepped on SLU's floor, but I would put his NBA chances at 0.1%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
