What's new

KO

Also extending KO this year for like 1 year like we did Ingles would be a much better option than John Collins as a placeholder for the star trade some think Collins contract will help with.
 
I love KO's game and hope he sticks around. I was very surprised about the number of people on another thread who said they did not like watching him play. I love watching guys with great IQ play the game and blend in a way that is really helpful.

They are the Walker Kessler stans who think he should get 40 mpg.
 
He's been picking up a bit on the energy side- he went through a stretch where it wasn't just matador defense, he wasn't blocking out and letting the other team get contestable rebounds. Zero energy.

His facilitating prowess isn't enough to overcome being such a huge negative on the defensive end. But lately he's been putting some zest in on the defensive side and really keeping the offense humming on that side and made himself a plus player overall.

Hope he continues his current run and finds the energy to compete on both ends.

His defense has been the same all season.

He does a lot of great things on D, but yeah, he can't make multiple defensive actions in one possession. His lowlights on D are loud.

By DBPM he's our best defender this season, just ahead of Walker.
 
Actually playing Olynyk WITH Kessler makes Olynyk playable. Otherwise it is a straight layup line for the other team.
Olynyk is playable with anyone on the court. Walker needs Kelly more than Kelly needs Walker.
 
when it comes to playing quality, full-spectrum basketball:
Olynyk >>>>>> Bogdanovic

and these players were swapped


If I were running the team, I'd already have done everything reasonable to extend him. I'd have gone up to 5-10% beyond "reasonable", too. But if that process was fruitless, then I'd trade him by the deadline for the best offer.
