I've been concerned all off season with how much better KJ and HD could get playing together. I've always loved KJ as a player but didn't really care for how we performed with those two playing together in the paint last year. It's still early but I think to the credit of those two they have shown improvement playing together on both ends. The additions to the team have obviously been a big help too but a lot of credit to those two for playing better as a front court tandem so far.
Now for KJ as a player individually, WOW! Despite his limitations with length for a post player and not being a good shooter he keeps ascending all the time. He's a smart player who clearly works his ass off, knows his strengths and has learned how to be dominant in the areas he's good at while improving the areas he hasn't always been good at. The way we are using him this year and the amount of skill he's showing to go along with his athletic ability has been fun to watch. Hope he keeps it up because he might find a role somewhere professionally if he keeps playing like this..
