Kielpinski will step his game up and they will get him the ball alot more.
i'm sorry but if team chemistry had to deal with his struggling against century then obviously you havent seen the games before that. he was dominant in his openers, so dont give me this junk about how he has to play with these guys before feeling comfortable. And Mauer, knowing what a player is capable of doing and what he is actually going to do are 2 different subjects. everyone knows that "kobe" can hit more than 50 points on any given night, but does someone just go out on a limb game after game that he will? NO!, it all has to do with circumstances, the team he plays and what is happening on the court that night. I'm not doubting kelpienski can hit 30 a game, but if he is struggling with team chemistry then why predict 30 points every game? does not make any sense. (just throwing in my 2 cents)
Of course he was dominant in his openers, both games which I have seen. 31 and 13 against a team that is absolutely tiny, followed up by dominating a weak Fargo South team, as in they would be weak if they were in the WDA.
It does all have to do with circumstances, predicting that he dominates Jamestown makes sense, and I don't think anyone assumed that Century and Mandan would combine to score less than 90 points. If both teams get around that 70 point mark, which is usual, my prediction would have been accurate. Example, Flaa had 16 of 43 points, that is like having a 25 point game, because most games would have around 70 instead of low 40s.
I predict Kielpinski goes for 20 and 10 at West Fargo. After scrimmaging Mandan today, I feel that his game has gone back to the level it was at.
Also, I predicted 30 maybe once against Jamestown, don't remember offhand, but I didn't predict that against Century. I said something to the effect that Century's best chance of winning would be for Kielpinski to have 35 and the rest of the team to do nothing.
Just my 2 cents.
