KAT is now averaging 23/11 in this series at insane efficiency of TS% of 71% this series, shooting 50% from 3. Turnovers are a problem (some of those are totally avoidable) but his scoring efficiency is insane

Has been all season. KAT is not only good from 3 but check his points to shot ratio on BB reference. Dude is for real on offense (when he doesn’t pick up offensive fouls.)

I wonder how many points of Towns are "self created" vs "assisted". How much he can improve if for instance our offence will create more open looks for him, or if we get a quality drive-n-kick player who can collapse defense?

P.S. I also noticed some development of Towns as short roll passer. Maybe it is sign of growing chemistry between players.

What drives me nuts about KAT is his fighting teammates for rebounds. I swear at least once per game we lose a rebound because of KAT’s stat padding. Last game they scored off of it and we lost by 2. I cannot remember if it was a made 3 (I think it was,) but gifting Memphis an extra possession and points is never a good idea.
