KAT does talk a lot, it may be too much for a non native english speaker, lol

I think KAT being talkative is a plus. We really lacked communication in the past especially defensively.
Also Im surprised that he's not getting into foul trouble. His improvement is scary

It's nice when 11 pts and 4 blocks is a quiet day at the office

He is probably the best 3 pt shooter i the starting line up.

Might be an idea to change the offense a bit and let KAT bring his man out to the 3 pt line, so he has an option for the deep ball or dribble penetration.

Yes, we need to slowly integrate KAT into our offense, with Bjelica playing as his main sidekick. Once KAT and Nemanya adjust to NBA physical game they will be pretty tough matchup for opponents because of shooting, passing skills, high BBIQ and desire to win. I definitely can see a lot of things that Adelman tried to play with us, now working perfectly with KAT and Bjelica. With these passing skills, court vision and shooting we can create something special. I mean we have a true floor general in RR, now we add two passing bigmen.
Last games we saw KAT, KG hitting cutting Prince for easy dunks (which he never converted into points) or open spot up 3s. Martin also did good job executing backdoor cuts against. When we put together everything it will be fun to watch.
But we need patience, not rush Wiggins, KAT or Rubio for quick success. Give them time to grow together.

P.S. Last night less talented Plumlee taught Karl a few dirty tricks. I hope that KAT learns them quickly

More upside than AD after three games?! People need to calm down just a little bit.

Potentially. I don't think its unbelievable, he was the number one overall pick. I think he really does have the potential to be the next great big.

They say you can tell someone's intelligence when hearing them speak. And man Karl is so refreshing to hear speak. His basketball intelligence plus just overall intelligence is off the chain. And that only means so much, but in terms of what I hear about him being able to pick things up quickly and stuff like that it makes me very hopeful. Because the dude sounds so well-spoken in his interviews and says all of the right things.
