eveybody wants him to play like porzingis but he's actually not that kind of shooter. kp gets his shot off quick. you give him a split second of daylight and it goes up. kat has a slow release and he's almost flat footed when he shoots the 3. he needs time to get it off. it's not easy to get him enough time to shoot.
The Timberwolves tried to use him like KP against Dallas and he had a historic brick fest

I’m glad the Knicks are actually trying to use him like a big man. It’s just that KAT plays soft so he can’t handle posting up smaller players.
he's having a brick fest this series which is why he's not shooting it as much. he's 2-14 of 3. they don't give him enough daylight to shoot. he basically needs to be wide open. they're a great defensive team. like i said, it's not easy to get him enough time to shoot.
KAT does put in work in the post but the Celtics defense structurally helps off of Hart with length converging into the paint. That's how Kornet got so many blocks. KAT is actually being reasonably aggressive, and if anything he should be looking to pass more when the help comes (often from the blind side). But again I think the big problem is the lineup itself, with Hart being treated like Russell Westbrook by Mazzula.
I think Hart's minutes should coincide with Mitch's, not KAT's. And KAT can floor space in the double-big lineup, and post up when he's the 5 in non-Hart lineups.
I think this is a bad matchup for KAT to be productive in terms of numbers, but he needs to be efficient and he wasn't on Wednesday. He also needs to cut down the stupid fouls. On defense, he should never be used in drop (or sparingly). He's solid in a switching scheme but atrocious in drop.
