I honestly don't even remember Nique on the Clips. Trade deadline deal the season before he played for us.

Said it before, but I only wish Kemba was younger so we could see him in green for years to come. Fits so well with this team.

As usual, Danny fell in a garbage heap (KI) and came up smelling like a rose (KW). He can't help it if he's lucky.

very similar per 36. the main difference is efficiency, which is very important, but this could be offset some by having better teammates and a better scheme. not to mention that kemba is a bulldog who shows up every day, not some aloof emo woke dude.

Honestly I think kemba could have a career year here and be even more efficient than before.

This was right.

This is one of the best articles I've ever seen, both in content and presentation. The way it scrolls on screen with the white background and crisp photos looks amazing. It's taking sports reporting to a new level. Congrats, Taylor Snow. And Kemba is perfect for this team.

Yeah it is one big love feast in this thread. A little alcohol helped last night too lol.

But I really do like Kemba.

Offensively, he is as advertised and Stevens has done a good job focusing on running his pet plays over and over until someone stops him. Perimeter D is problematic on a team that has no elite paint protectors. Playmaking isn't as critical when sharing the floor with Gordon, Tatum, and/or Smart. Don't care much about defensive rebounding from him as long as he boxes out his man and let the wings/bigs clean up.

Yeah the decrease in playmaking is definitely offset by the increase in off the ball movement. I've been happy with him on the court, but even happier with him for what he's doing for that locker room.

Should we change his name in the thread to Kemoeba?

Off ball movements is the bees knees! That's the one area I'd like to see him get even better at. Such an overlooked part of Steph's game is the way he gets himself open, or passes out and relocates. Kemba should be doing as much of that stuff as possible. Improvement to C+ still leaves room for much more.
