Recency bias aside, is Kornet really a good true proven center? He’s been okay for a few years.

Congrats to him and his agent!
He's been better than both, fairly simple.
Good assessment:

My prediction: he's going to be one of those guys that was far more valuable to us than anyone else, which has been pretty common in the Stevens era.

I think the Spurs are the right team for him. Most other teams, I would agree with you. I feel Kornet will be fine with the Spurs next to Wemby, because he won't be asked to do too much. And even if he starts next to Wemby, he will do well as a starter because Wendy will take a lot of the attention of both ends of the floor.

More like the other way around.
