You have the luxary to wait for KD recovery until the elimination phase, you don't need him for the group phase... that way you can either give him an additional week for recovery, or use the group phase as a training camp for him...You know international ball better than me, but I see a team that ain’t clicking offensively and also can’t put together performances on short rest.
we will see, but KD is an iso player and I don’t think that’s the problem with this team.You have the luxary to wait for KD recovery until the elimination phase, you don't need him for the group phase... that way you can either give him an additional week for recovery, or use the group phase as a training camp for him...
Serbia has often done this trick of waiting for important players recovery... like Ðorđević in world cup 1998, or Krstić in world cup 2014...
With KD this will be a different team.
It’s the defense to me. KD has a great basketball IQ and defense wise later his career he’s been good can play team defense. Sometimes it’s certain individuals who just lose focus when it comes to team defense it can be matchups like 42 should’ve been smothered all game he’s not good enough like Steph to be ran off the line and do something with it. Or close out under control. We have great athletes that can recovery but we getting back door pause too often.we will see, but KD is an iso player and I don’t think that’s the problem with this team.

NAH KD IS A PLAYER
WHO CAN FIT THE IN ANY SYSTEM.
HE CAN SCORE OFF THE BALL
JUST AS WELL AS ISOLATION
