D.J. Kennedy vs. TUL (28 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists)

I miss him.

Thank you for posting this. I miss him too.

Me too . Of course everything is relative to the level of competition, but he looks too good to not get a shot at the league. What do you think - perhaps 1/2 step slow and more consistent shooting ?

@TroyMauriello: D.J. Kennedy signs with Russian team Krasny Oktyabr. #sjubb http://t.co/HkVYOx9fPW

@sportando: Former Cleveland Cavaleirs DJ Kennedy left @VTBUnitedLeague team @bcredoctober, per sources

Russian team

The Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls are among four NBA teams that have shown an interest in swingman D.J. Kennedy, a potential candidate for the Most Valuable Player award in the top German league, sources told RealGM.

Still unbelievable to me that he isn't playing in the NBA. He's probably twice the player at this point than Moe/Jakarr are, and that's taking nothing against them.

Who knows what Moe is though, he doesn't get to play.

Who knows what Moe is though, he doesn't get to play.

He'd play, if he was good enough to play, and he's not good enough.

I mean he averaged 7.4 points on 46% shooting in 80 games/25 min in his sophomore campaign.

Simmons and Zach Lowe did a whole segment on their podcast about how a team should steal him in a trade and then discussed how amazing he would be as a team player on the Spurs.

So pretty sure people still think he has upside for a 22 year old 15th pick in the draft.

0404, that's a fascinating point, and raises a really interesting argument.

DJ, Moe, and Jakarr are all standout talents and it'll be really cool to see all 3 of them in the league at the same time.

Nevertheless, one thing that has to be recognized is that if/when DJ does get his next call up, it'll mark an era of 3 consecutive Small Forwards over the course of 8 years that the program has developed and put in in the league. That's a terrific stat for recruiting.  When Chris and Sheed enter the league there could potentially be 5 St. John's NBA active players! Credit should be paid to Rico/Tony/Whitesell/Martin on the in game development over the past 5 years.

That's a lot of "if's".   There's a good chance that none of those 5 are in the league next year

None of them are stand out talents or their talent would be standing out.

Sir dom maybe the best defense player in college don't sleep on him extending that SF streak on a late 2nd round pick. Seen worst players get draft,  would be a super long!

I thought posters here had long dispelled the idea that Dom was a good defensive player.  Some say he is outright bad on D.  Of course, Carlino may feel differently.

Love Prez. Great all around game.  He scored, he passed, he rebounded, he defended.  He was Costco before Costco. Shame he got hurt before that Gonzaga game.

I started that argument preseason in September, saying Dom was the best defender in college basketball, and has a real shot at getting drafted this year. I was laughed at.

In the past Dom has been charged with covering ball handlers.  And he was exposed quite a few times.  But if he is tasked with covering pure shooters like Carlino or bigger guys he can be the pest of all pests.

Agree with this. I was one who said he was a bad on ball defender. This year he has been phenomenal on the defensive side. I think dom is really going to have a great end to the season.

Hopefully the team does.
