Kennedy bounces back from disapointing form

Kennedy is MR CLUTCH for Alabama now. 12/15 points to get alabama to OT. Every time we need a bucket it should be his ball. He is a winner!

It's About Time!

Kennedy has always been a talent and I think that his best quality has been the teams biggest achilles heel thus far. Kennedy is a real team player and somewhat hesitant to take control of a game, probably because of all of the criticism he received when he stepped onto the scene his freshman year. (Remember when everyone accused him of breaking up the chemistry of that team!)

For this team to be successful, Kennedy needs to be more assertive and aggressive in clutch time. Gottfried should design ways for him to have the ball more in clutch time. For example, the Washington game would probably have turned out differently if Winston had been more assertive.

Kennedy is a much better clutch performer than Shelton and the sooner he realizes that and relishes that responsibility, and the sooner that Gottfried recognizes that Shelton is not the go to guy at the end of games, the better our chances are of going far in March.

I love Shelton, but I am being honest when I say Kennedy should step into our money man role.
