Added to Calendar: 12-07-22

I’ve seen flagrant 1 calls worse than JC’s flagrant 2, and Boler and T were right if Kuminga doesn’t throw a tantrum that ends up just a regular foul, one of the worst calls I’ve seen all year then they don’t call a foul on the haymaker KO received in the nose.
 
So, Kessler is averaging almost2 blocks a game in 15 minutes of play, and 4 blocks per 36 minutes. Is he the top rim protector in the league or is this a case of no one knowing better and challenging him because he’s a rookie?
Rim protection is correlated with blocks, but it's not a 1:1 thing.

Like one of the final plays Kuminga sent Walker flying with a pump fake because he wanted to chase the block and it resulted in him giving up an easy paint bucket to Kuminga. That's the stuff he will have to learn, when to stay down, to become an elite rim protector.
