KAT has been maddening with his refusal to pass the ball. I would say (and not exaggerating), that close to 80% of his touches become shots even when double or triple teamed. He has had lavine (and wiggins sometimes) open for 3 numerous times and refuses to kick it out when doubled (rick brunson mentioned this at half of one of the last 2 games). He is also not passing/dropping the ball off on dribble handoffs with his guards where lavine is very dangerous to pull from 3 or rubio/dunn can get in the paint (whereas lavine/dieng have been a killer combo on PnR or dribble handoff action and wggins has been able to eat on the PnR with KAT). The thing he needs to realize is that if he will give up the ball to open shooters when doubled, that he will get more single coverage as the doubler will be hesitant to leave lavine/wiggins/rush open. It's no surprise to me that wiggins and lavine have resorted tomore iso ball and poor/forced shots themselves the last 1-2 games b/c they haven't been able to get into the flow of offense with KAT being a blackhole. Wiggins has been a blackhole himself sometimes, but not near as much as KAT. Really selfish play offensively and he's been getting eaten up by other bigs on the defensive side of the ball as well. He talked a big game in the summer and preseason, but most of his games have been really bad this year where lavine's only bad game was the last against okc and wiggins has had maybe 1.5-2 bad games.

Breh it's so maddening because you can tell he's out to get numbers. Like you can tell he was playing to get numbers against Denver cause Malone told Dave Benz he was more worried about Wiggins and lavine than KAT.
