4 ORB/ 12 TRB 27 points and +25 through 3 quarters. I thought the Knicks overpaid for him (and they probably did) but for this split second in time he’s paying dividends.
Poor guy
Can me make trade grades once the season actually starts ?
It’s the preseason
Getting to the line 10-12 times is an anomaly. As is shooting 1-7 from 3.
What isn’t is turnovers, 5 fouls, and very dumb instincts that felt like they could be unlearnt, but always rears its head at random moments in games, sometimes the most crucial.
I have a feeling he has the green light, just like how he did in Minnesota, but he will always defer to jalen brunson. And this will never change, no matter how much success the Knicks seem to be having.
They are going to love Kat. We did. but he had significant flaws, constantly exposed when it mattered. I am overjoyed that he is not a timberwolf anymore.
This was against Alex Saar for the most part.
Nice insights. I did not follow him, but rather was impressed by ANT.
KAT will be their best player. He’s going to remind everyone he averaged 25/12 in his 2nd season. Won’t surprise me if he led this team in scoring, rebounds, and efficiency.
Two-Way “Wins” are possible, indeed.
Really nice to go from a small market whistle to a New York whistle
This dude rocks
Every single NBA player is overpaid
Deuce McBride would say f*** you if he was here 😂
Yep he looked amazing, except for his 3 pt shooting. Which you know will come around.
Got going after starting 0-6.
7/20
Reminder, it’s the preseason and it’s against the Wizards.
Exactly. We all know that preseason stats only matter when it involves a player we dislike having a bad game.
Anyone reacting strongly to a preseason game needs their head checked
I mean the guy can regularly do this during the season. So this reminder is a little weird. It is not like one of the guys who promise a great season every year and then fail.
🤦♂️it’s not about KATs skill or talent…it’s about his fit with the team and how all these guys will mesh as a unit.
But if he played like shit tonight ya’ll would be like LoL knICKS
If only there was a larger sample size of games that actually count to fall back on
Yeah if only, unfortunately it’s his first game with the new team.
Exactly lol he’s literally played like this his whole career. Why are we acting like he’s some rookie that’s an unknown variable?
Reminder the NBA is fucked. Knicks bringing the metal bats to everyone.
The 35 games that starting five is healthy together for are going to be 🔥 🔥
Don’t matter, that KAT can ball
All it took was going to a major market to finally get the whistle. 10/11 on free throws.
I think the fact that it’s the Wizards matters more than the preseason tbh
Kyle Kuzma didn’t like this comment.
