. Not a bad comparison size wise, but to me Courtney was already a guard - Kenyon I think is trying to adapt a "big's" skill set into a guard's body. I think he's kind of like a smaller version of a young Marcus Morris.
i've always felt he could be a decent bench player... He's showing some burst though... maybe a middle of the road starting option on a lower caliber team... but i still dont think he's in any kind of position to be making demands or going public with his concerns...
No. He's a very good 6th man but can't be a starter for a championship team unless he's playing with somebody like Lebron or Doncic.
but Courtney Lee has a legit position. He is a true shooting guard that can guard any backcourt and also handle the ball a bit. I don't actually know what KMJ should play, he's like a slasher, high flying shot blocker that doesn't have ball handing or passing, and can occasionally shoot open 3's
I hope he and Jabari can work on their HANDLES this year, because they can be real players for us. It’s great to shoot in the NBA but if you have handles you can be playmakers in this league…..I hope they will work on their handles.

Gotta think he's on borrowed time here with Tari already out producing him. Does KJ Martin + Gordon get a first from a team trying to be a contender?
Honestly he is what I thought he was, a 4/3 tweener with a high ceiling. The more time he gets on the court, the better he’ll get; the talent is there. He’s not a good ball handler, I question some of his BBIQ. For such an athletic guy you’d think he’d have more lateral quickness to stay with guys. But there’s huge upside with the other parts of his game. If he can continue improving his shooting and defense he’ll be at least a good rotational player in this league. If he wasn’t tryin to leave I wouldn’t be trying to move him, but with the commitment to Tate, Tari, and Jabari it hard to see him as part of the longer term core.
