Keef's biggest contribution is at least this season, he's a bona fide stretch big.

Neither Kuz/Jav/Dwight, etc. provided nearly 40% from 3 at the backup PF/C spots. Opens up the floor substantially.

How dare you!

Dwight: 60% 3s
McGee: 50% 3s

Darius said that Morris the only player who provides that type of shooting above the break. Most of our good shooters from three are from the corner. This will give Lebron more options.

Honestly, we need Kuzma to be able to sit on the 3 point corners:

Left corner 3: 10/21 47.6%
Right corner 3: 15/23 65.2%
Above the break 3: 40/156 25.6%

Opponents have that same data and try to keep Kuz out of the corners

Forget the hair. WTF is he wearing????? He's got a red suit that manages to flood even though its bell bottoms. It's double breasted like he is in the 80s. He's rocking a murse that does not match. OMG something is wrong with this kid.

I dont think his handles are good enough to get by SFs.
Seems like he should try to use his size inside more.

Evidence is pretty overwhelming at this point that he just had a hot few months during his rookie season from three and he’s actually mediocre from distance. College and the majority of his nba career so far he’s been pretty consistent as a 30-33 percent three point shooter. He can still improve, but it hasn’t looked good.

Exactly my dude. I’ve been saying this since early last season. And moreso when he was yammering on about how he’s a better shooter than his percentages showed last year.

No,.. overall body of work says he was a fluke shooter during SPL and into a couple of months in early rookie season. Shame too,.. if this guy could legit become as good a shooter as he thinks he is or willing to put effort into other aspects of his game he’d be such a damn good complimentary player. Even finding a few ASG’s along the way. Unfortunately,.. Kylie seems to have zero self-awareness. Let’s hope getting shipped to another team opens his eyes to the potential he’s wasting.

Yup, summer league was a fluke. He's been a low 30% shooter from 3 for the majority of his life. He'll hit a hot streak at times, but eventually will regress to the mean.

Morris being brought in to play stretch-4 and moving Kuz to the 3 is a smoke screen I think, Morris is here to replace Kuz's minutes

We start with

AB
DG
Lebron
AD
Javale

Lebron usually subs out early, we should put in Kuzma at that point. AB\DG should be replaced with Caruso\KCP.

This is my last hope...

His inconsistency is simply maddening.

Agreed. He's a volume scorer, but not a shooter. Does his best slashing and getting the ball on the move.

He's had 3 years to work on his shooting. It is what it is.

Holy ****. Was KCP ever this bad, in his darkest days?

Easily biggest disappointment of this season. It could only get better from here?

100. Kuz will become Jared Dudley's best friend at the end of the bench.
