I don’t usually make a habit of buying USA Today, but I might have to make an exception.

Other people look, Andy Rautins can SEE.

He looks like he is in good shape.

I hope his rehab went well this summer.

I know this will cause me to take some abuse, but....

Am I the only one who thinks that he is seriously overrated up to this point? Don’t get me wrong, I want to like him, he just isn’t consistent enough for me to anoint him the way the media has. It was like Wes left and the media needed a name to throw out there as our next “superstar” and they went with Kris. Again, I like him and want nothing more than for him to be a confident leader, scorer, and star, I just don’t think he has earned it yet.

YOU BASTARD!

Just kidding. No matter what anyone says, we know who he is now, and that is probably more along the lines of how you’re talking. But he has potential, and as a fan, its our job to want him to do really f-ing well and believe he’ll do well. "Glass half full and filling up to the top" if you will. It’s awesome to see him on there, and its going to be even better when he is an all American (knock on wood with fingers crossed)

I think he is good

and that he has not been the same since he fell and hit his head on that dunk. I think it was a reality check regarding his potential pro career. He played a bit conservative last year, seeming to avoid driving in the lane and chasing rebounds against the big boys. I think it was all about self-preservation, and then the NBA dogs stopped sniffing him. And now, there is no NBA so, expect him to explode.

To be honest

I think it was the knees more than the head injury. As someone who’s had pretty bad tendonitis in their knees (and probably the same kind), I think a lot of people don’t realize what that can do for a person’s explosiveness. It can blow the wind out of your sails if you’re very athletic and can no longer rely on your athleticism because you’re in pain. If he really truly did get that sorted out, I expect big things from KrisJo this year.

Is this just a regional issue?

Does anyone know, kind of like one of the football preview with Nassib on it, if this is regional? Or is KJO on all of them across the nation?

And I assume that this is on shelves now?

HOW DARE YOU!

Also kidding. Thanks for seeing where I was going with this. I totally agree with you, I want him to tear it up this season and make all the “experts” correct for a change. If he can rise to the occasion during clutch moments this year than there ill be no doubt that he has the brains to back his sheer athleticism and work ethic.
