Respectfully, hoopd, not sure this Cal team blows anybody out...but definitely like their chances better with Kelly.
Yet another game with limited minutes for Alajiki (11) compared to Kuany (27)...I’m sure Fox would point to “defense” as the reason, but even as a FR, Sam is one of your better players, and a shooter. Plus, he can guard 4 p…

Never seen a team flub so many loose balls/rebounds. These kids try hard, but they’re not instinctual basketball players.
I do think we would have blown Stanford out if we had both players. Kelly would have eaten their center alive, and with Kelly collapsing the defense shooters would get open looks, and Foreman had a break out game (and was 1-1 in his one minute)
I would not say the same thing about our games vs WSU or UW or any other team. It just that Stanford's center was terrible (even though he scored, there is no way he does that against Kelly, and there was no way he could have defended Kelly)
I still can't imagine how stanford beat USC twice. What I saw was a terrible team
Kelly's ability to dominate though is dependent not only on Cal's ability to get him the ball, but to do so down low in the block...I love AK22, but I'm not really confident in the supporting casts ability to consistently get him the rock, especially when he's fighting so hard for it in the post. With Shepherd, Joel & Grant, there is just too much dribbling, and we don't shoot it consistently enough...with Kelly, it's a tighter game, one we may win though.
Kelly definitely probably corrals 1 or more of the 4+ HUGE rebounds/loose balls in the key that Cal bobbled, flubbed or just plain missed.
