Originally posted by Juan Lun View PostI disagree, the whole video is about this. Klay got outrebounded because he got caught flat footed and trying to "box out" TT using his one arm (1:07), TT was able to slip in and get better position.. Steph outrebounding dwight (0:38) is a great example on how effort (positioning) and technique (using your body) thwarts physical stats (That's why we see kai who's 7'2 - 7'3 get outrebounded by 6'9 centers)..
imagine if Kai is able to do what Steph did in a consistent basis, he would be a rebounding machine and imo will definitely get more PT
As for Klay, he was flat footed but he had inside position regardless. If TT had virtually the same physical statistics as Klay then Klay would still get the rebound there. But he didn't, and Klay knew that, which is why he pushed TT who still got the rebound by an outstretched arm. Technique can only get you so far if you don't have the body to match it. Or else just from watching a few YT vids watching karate videos and practicing at home, I'll be a blackbelter.

Kai is not a superstar, you cannot ask him to just "turn it on" especially if his minutes are sporadic and limited. I've complained about this before, that the expectations some of you have for Kai is virtually impossible. You all want Kai to be consistent, but are also in favor of CJ not giving him playing time. Something has to give, you can't bake your cake and eat it too. Either we bank on Kai being consistent by giving him more playing time since consistency comes with experience, or we support CJ by limiting his playing time therefore not achieving consistency since he's not getting experience sitting on the bench.
Originally posted by jasper222 View PostImagine if Steph did it in a consistent basis. Heck imagine if all point guards did it in a consistent basis. Scottie Thompson and Mitch Mccaron would be out of a job. Let's not fool ourselves, proper rebounding technique can only be consistent if the rebounder is filled out. What Steph did was an outlier and not representative of what most PGs do.
Kai is not doing it consistently, if he does that within the 7 - 15 minutes playing time he is given he will earn CJ's confidence and imo will be given more PT. This is not an impossible thing to do and is actually attainable given the limited time Kai is given (stamina won't be an issue). We're not asking the impossible with Kai, he is a natural center and not a PG, that's what's expected of him.

Recalled because GSW has been mediocre all this time with their small ball. Relegated to the Gleague because they cant give him meaningful minutes with their game play.

Wiseman was recalled last game because Green, Wiggins & Steph were out due to injuries.
And now he's back in Santa Cruz for more reps:
24 pts 10 rebs 2 stls 4 tos 9/10 fg in 27 min vs the South Bay LakersLast edited by Chef30; 12-10-2022, 11:38 AM.

Then what is the fuzz with Kai's limited role in an ambitious team like ADL and a small ball-leaning coach? Is it not the same with Wiseman who is given limited role?
Take note wiseman is more than a year older than Kai. Born: March 31, 2001 (age 21 years). Wiseman was also 9 months healthy. GSW just doesn't know how to use Wiseman.Last edited by PeeZones; 12-10-2022, 01:27 PM.
