he can't
the playoffs are a different animal and he hasnt been through even 1 playoff to have the right mental approach :yeshrug:

I think when you put up 25 and 12 and shoot 60 40 80 for 35 to 40 games of the season you don't need "the right mental approach"

His defense is a problem...his offense is A1...

His defense is what stops him from being a top 10 player.

How sad is it that Bari with 9 torn ACL's still gonna be a better defender than Copface? :jbhmm:

Randle will take it to a further level next season, just watch :jawalrus:

At least I hope :sadcam:

He's definitely behind:

Lebron
Durant
Kawhi
AD
Giannis
PG-13
Butler
Draymond
Cousins
Wall
Harden
Westbrook
CP3


He has a legit argument at top-15, but there's competition.

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
MIN has the 3rd best record on the West wit both Wiggins and Butler playing below average all season, meaning KAT had led his team to #3 on the West. Also, MIN HAS BEEN THE BEST DEFENSIVE TEAM IN THE NBA OVER TGE LAST 6 GAMES PLAYED. Meaning MIN has been winning games on the defensive end anchored by KAT since he decided to actually play defense.


But go ahead wit yo bullshyt ass point with how u feel the need to tear down KAT in order to build up every other big on your list, cause right now, KAT HAS THE BEST TEAM OUT OF ALL OF THEM. HE IS LEADING HIS TEAM TO A TOP PLAYOFF SEED RIGHT NOW. But go ahead with your tear down tactic for your desperate ass debate points while KAT continues to lead his team to W's.

Told niccas in the random thoughts threat Kat has been WAY more active on D as of late :hubie: I listened to the wolves podcast and they said Kat was pissed because ppl were critical of his defense (rightfully so btw) especially the two games Jimmy missed.

Saying KAT is behind those players isn't tearing him down, it's the truth. And we all know Jimmy is the leader of that team, not KAT, you remove Jimmy and his leadership + defense and that team would be the same place it was last year.


KAT has gotten marginally better on defense, he's still not very good, his DRPM is 66 out of 69 for centers in the league, the Wolves have a 114 defensive rating when he's on the floor, and over those last 6 games that you're talking about he gave up 67% at the rim :scust:and they are 13th in the league defensively in those 6.

Face it, everyone I named is a two way player, KAT for as good as he is on offense is by far the worst defender of those young dudes by a wide margin too.

Amazing a difference a few months makes, most people have him behind Davis, Giannis, Kristaps and Embiid now for 25 and under players.
I never understood why people had KAT over Embiid, Giannis, or Kristaps if all are healthy.

Those guys are taller than him and more athletic and have skill sets as good.

The defending the rim thing is a major issue. He a great player but he not a generational talent.

What has shocked me the most is how bad his defense is considering he was a really good college defender.
