I know it’s a team game, and everyone has to buy in for it to work, so please know I’m not ignoring the whole team’s effort. But the one guy I wanted to see this from the most was KAT, because his talent and potential is unquestioned. It was the focus, off-season work, and consistency that I doubted. He seemed soft and at times lazy.
This season though? Holy shit. He’s transformed. His fundamentals are on point. His effort is there. He’s stronger. He’s faster. He’s moving laterally like Scottie fucking Pippin. He’s keeping his arms straight up. He’s driving to the rim like LeBron James. He’s rebounding like David Robinson. He’s dishing like Magic. He’s doing it for the team’s success, and he’s keeping his head in the game.
I am so proud of KAT this season. I hope he keeps it up, because it could be the difference between an early playoff exit and competing for a championship.
I’m firmly back aboard the KAT train, baby. Woo woo!
You are correct and yet still getting downvoted.
He had games where he didn’t score ten and tossed turnovers to start the season. He was throwing tantrums. Even Jim Pete talks about this. It’s not a matter of skills, he has all the skills and talent and athleticism.
He needs to keep his head in the game
