Kenny Williams out 4-6 weeks

[Steat]

Roy said after the game tonight that Kenny is likely out for rest of season ...4-6 weeks. Perhaps if the Heels make the Final Four he will be available for spot duty. He will undergo surgery next week. Let's hope Theo does not get hurt again this season. B-Rob must step up and not be so nervous out there.

Yep. Mentioned it in the stat thread. Sounds like meniscus --- cartilage doesn't usually take that long these days --- but just damn.

Theo is the key. Hope the Heels are injury free the rest of the way.

I hate it for the kid. Need Theo to stay healthy & I'd love to see Seventh at the sg spot with the starters

At this point I think we have to start Theo at the 2 and I think that was coming even without the injury. I would like to see BRob moved to the 2 as Theo's back up and 7th getting a few minutes there as well. Really hope Roy does not go with so much Nate at the 2, no offense to Nate but if we can't have great jump shooting at the 2 then lets get some length at the position and hopefully make it harder for some of these opposing guards to shoot over our back court guys.

By the way, Kenny has been battling a couple different ankle tweeks for a while now, wonder how much that impacted his shooting or desire to be a shooter? His shooting motion did seem to change a few games back.

Meniscus injuries are tough. 4-6 weeks is optimistic IMO. Some of those tears take months.

Hate this for kenny, never like to see a kid's season end to injury and especially our kids. Maybe he can pick up some things from the bench, being able to watch now that he has the playing time development from this season, that can help him get ready for next season.

I could not agree more. IMO, he's already playing too much by half.

Theo absolutely MUST stay healthy now. We're gonna miss Kenny's perimeter defense against teams with two good guards/wings (Duke, Kansas, UK).

It seems to me that Seventh has turned a corner of sorts, and could now play with Berry more freeing JB up some for scoring opportunities. The kid seems to me to step up against the toughest circumstances at HIS and you could tell wanted to go at DSJ. I love the cut of his jib and he could be that x-factor we need with Kenny out.
