Kevin Martin - again!

Kevin is freaking awesome...realistic question...in light of recent events, do you guys think he can turn into a 20ppg starter for this team at some point down the road? Or is this latest offensive explosion a temporary situation until teams figure out that they need to guard him?

Either way, it's really nice to see a kings draft pick playing so well.

Just for the record, if I had started MY any questions thread ;) I was going to entitle it YOUNG GUNS...

any questions?

Both Martin and Garcia showed me a lot tonight. Cisco was only two blocks away from a 5 x 5. That's incredible!!

I have a question that may not be relevant to the thread, but why do you think Kevin cocks the ball to his side before shooting? Is it because he lacks the strength to shoot normally or is it just bad mechanics?

Kenny Smith commented on this after the game and said while it's unorthodox, he wouldn't change it. Reggie said so also.

If it works, so be it.:D

Ok I am sold. Kevins consistancy over the past several games has been fantastic! While I might hesitate to start him over Bonzi right now, I would consider keeping Bonzi an inpediment to Kevins growth. This summer a sign and trade with Bonzi might be in order.
