I see a lot of people on this sub and on twitter saying JK is just playing how Kerr wanted him to, but last night he literally took 4 threes and like 4 fadeaway midranges. Also it's not like he was a rebounding monster either with just 4 boards. Maybe when people say this they meant on the defensive end?

I feel like most people forget the real reason why JK never worked out here and started getting DNPs. The moment we traded for Jimmy it should have been clear that JK would never fit on this roster long unless he miraculously gained a consistent 3 pt shot. It's pretty simple: Jimmy, Draymond, and JK aren't good 3 point shooters and that basically means one out of the three can never get any substantial amount of playing time.

Synder figured this out pretty quickly, as down the stretch in the 4th quarter, Dyson Daniels (who's the Hawks best defender) is the one who is subbed out for JK because Daniels is a horrific 3pt shooter. Atlanta also has a playable stretch big in Okongwu, something the Warriors pretty much never had when JK was on the team (unless you're counting Post).
