KW won't have to put up Omar Samhan like numbers to be effective and a valuable member of the Gaels. If he can give us a 10 and 10 type performance, he will win over fans quickly. Those doubt the Gaels ability to stay in contension for a WCC championship, will be surprised by KW moves and his south paw shot. KW factors into a continuation of success, but he won't have to put the team on his back for the Gaels to be a contender.
