Nope, no need for you to go on. Most of the things you say about Kaun are not true. Kaun is a very good defender. He blocks a lot of shots and alters opponents when they try to come inside. If you can't see that then you are blind. He has developed some decent post moves (especially noticeable this season - thank you, Danny Manning). His shooting percentage is 55.4% this year. That means that he is shooting well. I really don't see how you can argue that. Now, I will agree that he needs to rebound better.
The guy just started playing basketball for the first time in his life in what, like the 8th grade. He has improved every year. He is big, athletic, and brings a lot of energy off the bench. NBA scouts, television analysts, and most KU fans can see that he is a definite NBA prospect. I don't know why you can't see that.
