I think Kamiko is great and hope she gets a lot more playing time. I do, however, feel that some posters have unduly criticized Ariel Massengale. I don't like comparing kids because each has their own strengths and weaknesses and also 99.9999% of us on here are not expert enough to discern the finer points. But I'm doing a little bit of it anyway. Kamicko is a Senior, Ariel is a Sophomore. When Kamicko is on she is indeed more polished. She should be. The question now is can she be consistent. In the past Kamicko has struggled with her conditioning and that made her less consistent. Regarding rebounding Kamicko is asked to go to the basket, she is 6 inches taller than Ariel. All that said, if Kamicko can be consistent I'm all for her starting. She brings a lot to the table. And as a senior she has developed an air of calm and confidence. None of this, however, is a slam on Ariel. She does a great job out top.
