Kramer makes his long-awaited return, and while we did not think he was going to play this year, and it is a reason for him dropping in the rankings, he’s quickly reminded us as to why that’s a mistake. He’s jumped right in with Regis Groff, and in 4 games, he’s been a major difference-maker on both ends of the floor. He’s a boxsheet stuffer who is putting up an impressive 9.8 points, 5.3 assists, and 5.5 rebounds a game. If that wasn’t enough, he’s also averaging 5.8 steals a game, and that is where this matchup will need an X-factor like him. Against East, he will be asked to be himself. A fearless defender who impacts that game, plays with defensive aggression, and is the defensive anchor. He’s a player we’ll be keyed in on as he could swing the game.
