Agreed his conditioning needs to improve.

That's the MVP we're talking about here.


He puts in less effort on defense in Regular Season, also less MPG on average compared to Playoffs.
Great takes since 2024-04-20

I've been an NBA fan for like 20 years. I think I'm officially done with all the "if he only lost some weight" projects. I'll just be pleasantly surprised when someone actually does it, but I think it's time to stop expecting it. 9 times out of 10 it doesn't happen.

One of those players that bullies his opponents in lower tier competitions (G-league, U19, etc...) as he is way stronger than everyone else, but not strong enough to cover his shortcomings at the top level. That being said, I think he's too good not to have a roster spot, even as a third stringer.

If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

BTW i don't think losing weight in his case would help much, he's not going to grow longer arms or move like Zion anyway and it could hinder the advantage that girth gives him to create space in the post.

Yeah, he is who he is, His shooting came a long way, so maybe there is something there if he gets in PRO shape, but doubt it honestly. I love Kenneth, but with that said, my god IGNITE is a freaking joke of a team.

Would be interesting to see him in Europe, he probably would not be playable, but maybe he would? Not like Sofoklis played any defense ever, and he was a big name at one point.

Yeah I know I am, but Lofton Jr is such a “who?” candidate, I didn’t even remember the thread about him

He really isn't, he is well known player. ''Who?'' comments are honestly never amusing, sorry if I am cranky, I hate all 'Who?' comments, but you managed to double dip in one thread, come on :lol:
