Kas vs Kon is an interesting one to me. Partly because I'm taking over as the #1 Kas stan, but also because they seem to have similar concerns despite having very different games. I just see a lot of Kas criticism out there and a lot of hype about scaled up Kon and often from the same people. I get the impression that if Kon did more on ball creation—and did well like Kas—these same people would be also be fading Kon.
I'm definitely not that guy to say Kon has low potential though. It's totally possible he's better than Kas at these things, I just don't like viewing the theoretical thing is better than actual thing. I also reject the idea that you need to take a "swing" to hit on high potential. Being able to easily see a guy as an NBA player is definitely a better indicator than not. It's kind of the same issue. You get intrigued by what you don't see. I think people are enchanted by the idea of "high risk high reward, you need take a big swing". If that's how this worked, I'd be right with them, but I really don't think it does.
