You aren't kidding. The transfers who express interest in playing for us are almost always walk-ons, like
Theodore Beckett, or guys who don't make an immediate impact at a small school, like
Asdrubal Cruz. Sometimes these guys can pan out--Cruz certainly did--but they seem to be depth chart filler for the most part.
K-Lash is cut from different cloth. He's not Superman; he has A potential in only one area (jump shooting), but he's a B at the rest of the key skills a scoring wing needs and a C in the others. He is quick, he can leap out of the gym, and his stamina is just fine.
Most Lafayette players, even the good ones, have a handful of Ds and Fs on their "attribute report cards."
Micah Rodriguez can't rebound or play defense.
Byron Shores is an elite shooter, but that's pretty much all he does.
Matt Robles couldn't steal the ball, handle it, or shoot it from much farther away than the rim. And these are players who have been drafted, or whom the experts believe will be drafted. Kenton is a unicorn.
His former teammates got NCAA championship rings last April, so I hope Kenton isn't feeling too down about leaving. I'd love to see him have the chance to win a natty with Lafayette.
