He seems to have some good perspective on what he needs to work on, i.e. picking his spots and keeping his cool when it’s unproductive.  It’s too early to say if he’ll score 30, but being a 20/200 player, in the post-instigator era, would be pretty impressive.

Just in case this story rings a bell for regular KK readers, Alanah pointed out to me this morning that I had posted the same story when it first came out back in late May.

Sorry for the repeat, but it is hard at times to remember everything that is posted here.
