[QUOTE="78pike, post: 990416, member: 4030"] Everyone keeps dumping on Kelly for his poor three point shooting which is obvious. I just want to give the guy credit for drastically improving his game in other areas this year. He is hitting the boards harder than he ever has and is a big reason why we are having such success on the boards this year. His effort on defense is a drastic improvement from the past couple of years. I haven't taken the time to look up his steals for the year but watching all of the games, he is getting his hands on the ball much more frequently and is way more disruptive than he has ever been. He also is not just settling for the three all the time. He is driving to the basket much more than in the past and is finishing at the rim. And finally, and this is where I think CDS has had a great influence, he is distributing the ball off of those drives and not forcing bad shots like he had a tendency to do last year. So yeah, his shooting numbers are way down, but the guy has found a way to contribute in other ways which is why he continues to get the minutes. Plus opposing teams continue to make him a focal point of their defense which opens up opportunities for players like Reeves and Ndongo. Without Kelly on the floor I think Ndongo would be seeing a lot more double teams in the low post. [/QUOTE]
