He started to look for the quick shot, instead of running the offense. Would you agree or disagree? Also, Kemp's assist to turnover ratio was 3/1, the best for Cal' while he's been at Memphis. Yet Allen was allowed to make turnover after turnover. Statistics don't lie, when Kemp played more than 10 minutes he shot over 41% from 3, the 12 games he played less than 10 minutes he shot 9.5% from 3. Looks like lack of confidence was his biggest issue.
I'm from just east of Memphis also, and about half of my friends are Tiger fans. I don't hate the program or the coach, I have a respect for the basketball team just like most of my friends have a mutual respect for Pearl and Tennessee. I'm just saying that some Memphis fan believe that Cal' was unfair with Kemp also. This was in no way a flame, just an honest question. | That's cool. I didn't mean to make it sound like I was barking back if that's the way it came across. I do believe Kemp got yanked too quick sometimes and there is no doubt it hurt his confidence. His PT became smaller and smaller as the tournament wore on and I do think he should have gotten some more PT. I think he can showcase this year if he has the confidence. I am not sure he will be a C-USA 1st teamer but I can see him be a 2nd or 3rd teamer.
I have no doubt Willie will finish his college career out at Memphis. The incoming class does not have anyone on Derrick's level so I think Willie can prove himself and hopefully have a strong year. If he does that, his senior year should be a great one.

I think this is best for Doneal.

Disclaimer: I know Memphis does not have Xavier Henry, just using him as an example of a top guard from the 2009 class.

| Mack has to improve his game a lot if he wants to see much playing time.

| Mack is on his way to the University of New Orleans. Good pickup for Joe Pasternack. | |
