Now if he's demonstrated some improvement there, give him another shot. But the first guy he faces is going to hit him with that same club/rip and attack that outside shoulder the same way Hendrickson did. And if he doesn't show immediately that's he's developed a plan against it, we're shot.

Because if a guy wins every rep but has to at least work to do it, that's better than a guy just going out there and doing the same thing over and over again with nothing to think about because then he's not even having to execute his secondary moves. You're not taxing him a bit.

Unless/until he doesn't have a spammable weakness, Kingsley can't play.

Kingsley reminds me so much of Eric Fisher. A guy with the traits and a high ceiling but is a mold of clay needing work whereas Wanya is a higher floor kinda guy that is playable but not a certainty by any means.

Kingsley is more athletic and stronger than Wanya but he just doesn’t know the technique yet. When Trey Hendrickson beat Kingsley it was almost strictly due to technique and leverage every time. Trey knew how to get his hands on him and get leverage immediately.

I remember seeing that in Fisher in 2013 and 2014. This could take a bit but I think the endgame for Kingsley could be a really solid player like Fisher was. We just need patience.
