The sum total of his mentoring of KG is that he got him to ice his knees after games.
Agreed. It always seemed like the media was creating a story here where there wasn't one. Yes, Sam Mitchell's locker was next to KG's...not worth a 500-word article.
If Sam was a true mentor to KG, I think we would have seen Kevin standing and waiting for spot-up 12 foot baseline jumpers and flailing on defense trying to draw questionable charging calls a lot more.
