Kawhi maybe the most overrated Superstar since winning in Toronto. Everybody is saying that his Clippers will win it all or favored to go top 4 in the West just to end up being Play in merchant. Now Toronto has championship because of him. LOL
Translation:
He needs in game reps, and a lot of them.
There’s going to be ups and downs, but it’s about what he can become by spring, not what he is opening night.
This can't be the same Kuminga I was told can't play next to Steph.
The casuals told me that he can't pass while an actual coach is telling me he's a connective passer that really sees the floor.
There's a disconnect here, and I can't quite put my finger on it 🤔.
Chris Finch on Anthony Edwards focus on the defensive end this season via @PAOnTheMic 9 to Noon show:
“Last year we were trying to preserve him defensively since he was handling so much. This year he’s back on the ball. His offensive load and responsibility to create isn’t as high and he’s able to direct that energy back to defense”
Finch added “Ant is a tone setter on the defensive end” as well 🔒
