Looking forward to seeing what this transpires into on the court. Kids Bball IQ is great, hope he has learned some new "tricks" with the lighter him. 
It is amazing how much this kid has transformed his body. I will never forget first time I saw this kid play while in high school, you could see the raw talent but he could barely run past half court. And now he he looks a bit like JMM.
I agree in the hope that it translates to his on court play, especially in an ability to explode up and thru contact and finish with the flush. One question I have is that he was very effective using that huge butt he once had to move opponents out of position and I am wondering if he is still able to do that because that butt is not what it once was. Can't help it guys, I am still on the fence with this kid, I really need to see what he has added during this off season, we need him to really take his game to that next level and we need him to do that now.
I feel ya. We're lucky that way. And no offense, but I can count on one hand the likeable players from dook (lessee: Grant Hill, maybe Daniel Ewing, and er, um..........), so yeah, that's gotta be tough.
Heck, even the ones that start out inoffensive tend to adopt that legendary K "charm".
A basketball players ability to increase his vertical leap while in competition is more related to his athletism than his fitness. I'm sure Kennedy's lift from a dead jump has increased dramatically since losing all of the weight. There have been many very successful big pro players who have relatively small vertical leaping ability. Kennedy has great hands, touch and basketball savy. His ever improving footwork and fitness will make him a much better player for us this year!
