I think my favorite KAT attribute is that he meshes well with any other front court player he is paired with. For as long as I can remember, we have been wishing for this type of front court player, or that type of front court player. KG and KLove needed a big burly center that could rebound and d up, Big Al needed a shooter who could stretch the floor.

If in the future we are looking for another starting front court player, we can simply hope that we get the best player available, regardless of their strengths and weaknesses. How refreshing...

Yup, really makes it easy when looking at FA/draft prospects. He may not be a perfect complement to every possible player type, but he's not a bad fit with anyone either.

don't they usually call a technical when you slap the backboard off a dunk like that? Glad they didn't that time.

I thought he was absolutely a no brainer at #1, but I didn't think he'd be this good this soon.

Love it!

That footage of Flip jumping up and down for joy on lottery night will stay with me for a long time. He knew we were getting a good one.

May be to soon, but he looks like Lamarcus Aldridge on steroids...

So I think Pek and Towns together would work really well...

Pek's weakness on defense is rim protection. He's such a big body and so strong that he boxes out well and he can hit the offensive boards as well. They'd be able to play together on offense too.

How's that something you even notice? As a human being

Pek + Towns is a nightmare on both ends for other teams imo.

Is it just me or does Rubio seem annoyed when KAT was talking?

Probably not annoyed but my first though when I saw that was "you don't think Ricky already knew all that?" I'm sure Ricky was thinking the same thing. Good on KAT, though.

Definetly felt like a rookie moment for KAT. Its good tho, hes so energetic. KG probably loves working with him.

I'm so jealous of you guys, what a player! His potential is out of this world, like a Duncan+Dirk hybrid, or I don't know. :lol:

I guess similar to Anthony Davis' ceiling.

The future is exciting having this guy on our roster. Love his enthusiasm!

Sure, we can try guessing what's going on there but one thing is clear - Ricky is annoyed in that gif
