Glad you got out of the Ringer KOC. They lost a good one forsure! I appreciate you always giving the Lakers credit and not being another national guy hating on us. LETS GO LAKERS 💛💜
KAT had Vanderbilt and McDaniels next to him in 2021-22. He was still really bad as a defensive center. He's a four. He will be better when MRob comes back and KAT can move to the four.
It’s not absolutely beast for the wolves to bench Randles last year he had a 120 offensive rating with Robinson on the court last year. Y’all call it clunky when people absolutely still guard Randle to the three.
Came over to see if Kevin's takes woud be as bad as they were at the Ringer... one episode and I am out. How are these considering experts? He claimed the Mavs were significantly changed when they changed out their worse starter and still have their top 5 guys. Minnesota somehow clearly got better.... because of Donte D... Klay is a plus. He is replacing Tim Hardaway who was benched. KOC has already brought the bad takes. Bye!!! Only KOC point about Dallas was losing to Boston and not beating those two teams that "Definitely" got better even though Minnesota lost their 2nd best player. No mention of Dallas keeping 4 of their starting 5 that went through the West as an underdog in every series. KOC... still a clown.
People keep saying saying kat hasn’t had support defensively like he does now. Let me remind that the reason they traded for gobert was because they got destroyed on the glass and protecting the rim vs Memphis with kat at the five. The defensive pieces on that team included ant, Jaden, Vanderbilt, pat bev, and prince. Not og or bridges level but not awful and yet they decided to trade picks for a real center and trade kat two years later. There’s a lot of rosy views of this.
41:28 Agreed that there’s good reasons to be wary of the Nuggets. But they won the title in 2023…this upcoming season will be the 2nd season after winning the title, not the 3rd
Yeah. He didn't get his farewell episode, probably, because he immediately announce where he was going so Spotify/The Ringer didn't want to give him an opportunity to do free promo for a competitor. Ben Solak got his goodbye ep because he just said that he was leaving. Kevin O'Amateur.
Randle off the bench if just stupid, rotations will serve the same purpose outside of the first 4 minutes of the game or so. Making a multiple time all nba player upset is a stupid suggestion. Randle comes off floor first and comes back to lead second unit with Naz & Donte & NAW and destroy other bench units. I bet Randle leads the team in assists this year. And why aren't you asking if Jaylen Brown has a chance to ascend to a top 10 player this year, he certainly was during the playoffs and has looked better than Tatum most of the season. I would take Brown over most of the guys you guys would list as top 10 I'm sure.
I find KOC's draft analysis to be consistently very dubious (it's more than just awful takes on Killian Hayes and Mo Bomba). However, his takes on teams/players in-season tends to be quite good. I'm glad he got away from the human charisma vacuum that was/is Verno. I'm not sure if I've ever seen consistently bad takes more than I have from Verno. I had toyed with just hitting the mute button, and unmuting when KOC spoke, but I figured it would be too disjointed. I wish KOC the best of luck on Yahoo. I'm sure he'll be great.
