Our offense seems to be taking care of itself. I don't need to be calling all the shots. That's what Coach is for. I'll just take the ball when I get it and try to make a play. Might be a shot, might be a pass. No reason to push things and get too far from our regular gameplan. I'm fine with the way things are working now.

It's hard because I see my teammates out there doing everything they possibly can to get us wins. But for some reason the shots aren't falling. If we keep putting out maximum effort like we have been, our luck will change. This team is too talented to keep a bad streak like this going for too long.

Kenny had an impressive game against the Lakers in week 8. He tallied 26 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists.
He continued to build his reputation as one of the league's great rebounders, with 19 against the Houston Rockets.
Young came up with another impressive effort against the Pacers with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
His efforts in December earned him the Rookie of the Month in the Eastern Conference.
The Wizards acquired OKC's backup point guard Eric Maynor in exchange for Josh Howard
First game of the new year and Kenny suffers the biggest set back in his career so far. He injured his ankle in an attempt to take a charge against Chris Paul. Prognosis: Severely Sprained Ankle (2-4 weeks)
Even though the Wizards lost, Kenny had a triumphant return with his first career triple double (11 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists).
Kenny returns... during his absense, Flip Saunders was fired and replaced by Kurt Rambis... did they think this was an upgrade?
Also happening during his absense, Acie Law was acquired in exchange for Cartier Martin.
The rotation as it was before the All-Star break.

It surprises me that David Andersen is always selected to the Rookie Challenge, but he is a beast in 2K after all.

It only took until the second game after the All-Star Break for Hedo Turkoglu to get a spot back in the starting lineup.
This made Kenny go back to his role as 6-man
Marvin Williams suffered from back spasms in the game against the Warriors and it was the first of what happened to be a chronic back problem for him throughout the season.
After struggling to register a point in his 49th game, Young played a hell of a game against the Warriors. In 31 minutes he scored 31 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
Stealing the ball became a big part of Kenny's game post all-star break. Here he is picking off a pass to Eddy Curry.
Kenny backed up his impressive performance against the Warriors with another MVP display against the Wolves. He filled out the stat sheet with 22 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
But once again an injury plagued his momentum. After taking a successful charge attempt against Will Bynum, Young was left floored. The Wizards surrendered a big lead to lose by a point and Kenny went on to miss 3 weeks (or 9 games) with a Strained Abdomen.
Due to continuous poor performances by Turkoglu, Kenny was rushed back into the starting lineup against the Warriors in California. He was outstanding once again against Golden State, with a game of 30 points (from 25 minutes), but an unusually low rebound count (only 2). Monta wanted to be apart of Kenny's rookie poster.
But Kenny and the Wizards fell short once again, losing by a point in the Bay Area. Despite scoring 30, Young became increasingly frustrated by his team's shot selection (*cough*Arenas*cough*) and having them only pass him the ball with 5 left on the clock.
There is also an internal rivalry between Young and Turkoglu. With Hedo shooting a poultry 35 percent from the field, it'd be hard not to be frustrated when the coach is constantly considering him for your starting spot.
Kenny grabbed a career high 20 rebounds against the Hawks, but in the third last game of the season, the Wizards dropped their 11th straight game and cemented their wooden spoon in the East.
After what many would call a disasterous season, the Wizards finished on a high, winning their last two games against Boston (1 point) and blowing out Cleveland by 29. With Young becoming a free agent though, some might say the damage has already been done and he could distance himself from coach Rambis in the off-season.
