After spending several days of reading about JK's awesome start with Atlanta I flipped on last nights game partway through to watch, only to see that he is already out with knee soreness. In a world of apparently reliably unreliable availability I'm not so sure JK for KP isn't actually the right move even with the KP results to this point.
You can see the dream with KP, but no one is holding out hope that he's the start of something or a path to medium term continuation.
I remain highly enamored with JK's athleticism but there have been enough games missed to this point on injuries that I'm not sure that even if he was what "we" hoped he could/would be that there would be any firmness in that alternate timeline foundation as huge piece of a roster puzzle as opposed to a tantalizing athlete with limited everyday availability.
It's been one hell of a run. I'm actually somewhat enjoying this scrappy band of misfits going all out till they run out gas playing 8 deep every night. I just keep forgetting to walk away at the half, before everyone runs out of gas.
Maybe if we played the wizards as much as they have…
I also just gotta say, if JK continues lighting it up on the Hawks nobody can ever claim Kerr “can’t develop players” again. Seems to me like that’d be evidence he was plenty developed, unless there was a hyperbaric time chamber on the plane ride over lol.
Looking forward to LJ Cryer nailing 10 threes on his way to 35 points tonight :)

No regrets about JK to Atlanta. Do you think he'd be averaging 21, 7 and 3 for the Dubs, on good efficiency? I don't. Not Kerr's fault.
As for the Rockets, maybe they can lend us a few players for the game.

Wooo… here are the Top 5 Warriors by EPM
Steph - out
Jimmy - very out
Melton - restricted
Kristaps - more of an abstract concept now
Moody - out
Love the Kristap’s description!
