Player Ryan Kelly

OMG WTF that tweet is from the future.

Maybe him being 100% healthy is one version of a possible reality, and we need to take action to make sure that this version prevails over an alternate version (Ryan has lost his leg after playing through gangrene these past few weeks).

Gotta say, I'm pretty sad we'll never get to see him play college basketball again. As good as he was this year, I don't think we really got to see quite get to the point where he could use the full extent of his skillset with comfort and confidence - I've been waiting his whole career for him to get to a point where he could start busting out his funky old HS moves in college games, and we definitely saw flashes of it this year. I feel like he could have been an NPOY type of offensive player as a fifth year on the right team, and would have been fun as hell to watch in a situation where he had a little more usage/freedom.

My favorite move of his was when he'd recognize he had a smaller defender on him on the perimeter, and would just start backing him down, mano y mano, over the course of 5-6 dribbles, until he got close enough to give him some funky Dirk-spin for an open look. Just warmed my heart to see scared little freshman R. Kelly all growed up!

Yeah, it's a shame he got hurt when he did because he was starting to play some great basketball.

In hindsight, Coack K and his staff should've redshirted both Kelly and Miles.

But that's hindsight.
