I know this isn't exactly breaking news and I know KO plays a finesse game, but watching him play sometimes just leaves me facepalming. He's a 7-footer and I hate the way he gets bullied, pushed around, rushes his shots, and plays out of control. Am I the only one who cringes whenever he tries to sneak in floaters and layups like he was IT4?
He's a mobile 7 footer who if he could ever just get a mean streak, could at least average 12-14 PPG, good enough to be a 3rd option.
Hes still a great passer in the high post, excellent at help defense, and array of offensive skilled moves most big men don't know. I hate his pump fake, but he seems to have stopped doing it as much towards the end of the season. You have to remember, he was a point guard till he got a huge consecutive growth spurt.
I'm not even asking for a mean streak. I'm just asking that he go up to take his shot like a big man would. Not like how a small guard would when he's amongst the trees.
I don't have a problem with other facets of his game though.
