Nice video man, loving the focus on players that aren’t the biggest names in the NBA especially with so many young up and comers in the league. Jaden Ivey or Jalen Duren next maybe?
Instead of mentioning that JK is only 20 as your thing to say, it would be more poignant and true to what's happened to point out that if JK had been drafted to a weak team he'd already have gotten big minutes for a couple years by now.
Then you could discuss how that could be a blessing though as he's been behind legends and won a title and got to see how real winning works, respect the journey, earn everything while frustrated but winning.
Then you could discuss how Kerr being tough on him might have its limits and despite Wiggins and added bigs depth still in the way of Jonathan's minutes possibilities maybe Kerr should just play JK more this year no matter what, if for no reason than to assess.
I really hope they don't end up trading JK at some point because they just never really played him enough. But they do have Wiggins, and they do have more depth at the bigs now theoretically, and wings (he's kinda both in the W's system, or can be a small 4 large 3.)
It's tough, but usually injuries, different lineups….hopefully JK gets the PT, but damn, he came into a win right now team as a rough around the edges player a bit raw (and he kinda is, as many young players are, but that's over talked about how raw he is. If he was so raw his FG% and efficient game with great D wouldn't be as good as it is. And it was told when drafted that his 3pt% was raw, but he's been really solid with that too.
It's just a situation where the W's better not blow it and lose him because they just never felt they could play him enough (and again, while i think that would be a mistake, you can see the factors at play here fit this…they ARE deep, they did just keep Wiggins, add more bigs….
Again, let's all hope things happen in a way this year that just straight up tells the Warriors to not even think of letting JK go.

Heading into year 3, not 4.

Sends that shit, I love it.
Great video as always. I appreciate how you hightlight NBA talent that gets overshadowed or crowded out of mainstream recognition. Keep it up!

Not one 3 pointer… that’s why he’s limited on the court
