Basketball ain't like that... whose shots do you want to take to get Retin 15.. good basketball is about people playing their roles. That's why our most productive unit doesn't look that good on paper. Kessens, Norris, Cooper, either Randolph or Tarrant and Retin is our most productive 5. Retin for his defense and he's a foul magnet when hoes to the hole, Tarrant or Randolph(either can get 20) are 1st scoring options, Cooper as a 2nd scorer who can get 20 plus rebounding. Norris is a glue guy kid is pretty freaking tough too and he can hit the open 3. Kessens is a much needed skilled post guy especially since Shannon is in a funk. He can also hit the 3 and has a good mid range game and his defense & rebounding are getting better. He mentioned he was finally 100 so that's great news.

Retin getting 15 sounds good but if he does I'd hate to see what the game outcome would be.. maybe he could get the right match up and draw a bunch of fouls but, I don't see plays being drawn up for him to do that.
