Lol ok. You can keep on thinking that the coaches, management, his line mates, the entire world are all out to sabotage poor KK, and that he doesn't have any responsibility, or say in what happens to him, nothing is ever his fault. He is just a helpless feather floating on the wind, that damn cruel wind
. Have a good one...

KK has had ample opportunity to establish a role with the team - he hasn't. KK has had 3 years to improve/progress - he hasn't. The playoffs, and certainly not the finals, aren't the time to let young guys develop and find their groove. Yes struggling young guys will get benched for vets, yes vets get the benefit of the doubt that young guys don't get, yes young guys have to clearly out-play veterans to play ahead of them. If you don't like this, take it up with virtually every coach ever.
"Hot take"? I don't think you even know what that means. We are talking about 3 years here. There has been ZERO progress from KK in 3 years. He is the EXACT same player that showed up at rookie camp 3 years ago. Tell me what you claim he has improved?
Give me a verifiable example of something he has improved since his rookie season.

No, that's not how this is going to work. You are making a claim; the burden of proof is on you. You can't back up your claims? Give me a verifiable example of something he has improved since his rookie year. The stats to back up what I'm saying are readily and easily available. What I'm saying is easily verifiable.
The reason why you refuse to provide an example, is because you can't. You aren't fooling anyone by avoiding the question. It should be easy, if there's all this progress that you claim....yup, you can read...it's easy...or don't, I could give a Rat's Arse...your OPINION that he hasn't progressed at all is Stevie Wonder material...
It's not an opinion; it's a fact.your OPINION that he hasn't progressed at all is Stevie Wonder material...
You quoted me. I don't care what you claim to have posted before, if you're going to quote someone, be prepared to back up your claims. There is no fallacy; everything I've said about his lack of progress/improvement is verifiable fact, and has been backed up. Imagine starting an argument with someone, and then resorting to petty evasion tactics because you can't backup or verify your claims
Seems like those questions are better suited for the coaches; maybe there's an email where Ducharme and co can be reached
. Obviously I didn't make the decision; I'm just trying to explain the possible rationale behind it.

Everyone can see for themselves what you're claiming is BS. There has been no improvement from KK in 3 years. That is fact. You have backed yourself into a corner here. Give it up. All we can do is hope KK turns the corner this year....asking you to read is "evasion tactics"??...OK...forgot this Generation isn't down with that...
He has been in the past one of the very few forwards who were held accountable....not sure why you are thinking otherwise?
Also, the funny thing is that you know I'm a regular poster here; I've read all the KK threads. This is just another stall tactic/way for you to evade the issue at hand. He hasn't improved at all in any way since he was a rookie 3 years ago....asking you to read is "evasion tactics"??...OK...forgot this Generation isn't down with that...
Exactly. I still think he is salvageable, however, and that he can still become a useful player. But won't ever be a 1C, that is blatantly obvious by now, if it wasn't already. Him being a 1C was always a pipe-dream.
KK does get the right amount of TOI and quite often, more than often the leftover wingers............
