Backup minutes. I'm excited about this signing. Maybe a mega-smallball 4. I like rooting for exciting players. He also shares the same initials as my favorite player of all time.
Agreed 100%. The Warriors this past season proved you can't have too much depth, and used a lot of different unique lineups based on match-up, and clearly that worked for them. There is no reason KJ shouldn't be getting minutes IMO.
I like KJ, but we still don't have an answer to playing offense when Harden is on the bench. I'm not freaking out or anything about our roster, because I feel like Morey is smart enough to understand these things. Is there anyone on the roster currently that could step up and do a better job this year than they have previously in creating shots for the offense? Bev? Papa? Maybe even KJ?
It is good to have this kind of depth of wing defenders on a team but I really think we have sacrificed any play making ability outside of Harden. What will supremely grind my gears is if he is buried at the end of the bench by McHale.
he's the point gawd! he'll kill the other teams pgs, he'll get a bunch of assists, AND HE HAS A BIG D***! harden wanted help at guard, he got it!
I don't think he will get major minutes barring injuries this season. KJ will be more of a factor next year when KD is in play. KJ will be insurance if we have to make room by gutting Brewer and/or Ariza if KD wants to come play for us.
I think we'll see minutes distributed more to keep the team fresher. Having depth allows for this. Losing Smith was painful because he was able to defend opposing centers when Dwight was out of the Line-up.
