It is one thing to get to the NBA. It is something else to stay there. Kira needs to improve his strength and body. I don't see him as a player who will stick unless he improves his shooting and stregnth around the goal. I think Petty is a better prospect st this point. He does need to improve his ball handling but he can with time and some good coaching.

He's actually improving it before our eyes. I've stopped yelling "YOU DON'T HAVE THAT MOVE!" I think Oats is encouraging both him and Reese to make inside moves they wouldn't have tried last season. Most of the time, it's working out...

Petty, Reese and Herb have improved the most, the interesting part of it is due to an increased focus on hustle ... it's like the more this team hustles, the better they perform. It's not a rocket science formula, but I do realize its one that can be a challenge to maintain night in and out.

The more they dedicate themselves to hustling one game at a time, the more chances this team will find success in the win column. And it will also lend itself to success on the next level as well.
