I just saw a clip on espn Boston, with Steven A Smith and some white guy , arguing about KG taking too many jump shot for a guy with so much height and length. The white guy (can someone name him) stated that it bothered him KG didn't score inside more. That even though he is skinny , he has amazing height/length and is a strong guy. Smith argues, KG is built a certain way (skinny) , that he can't push his man off and score those easy inside the paint shots in like some centers in the league can. And in the end who cares how he scores.
For me before we got KG, i did feel the same way, that kg was way too much of a perimeter player. And when we gave up Jefferson who was pretty much, all about playing around the paint, our inside game would suffer. But as i've grown to appreciate kg's game, as long as he doesn't shy away in the paint on the defensive end, i couldn't care less how he scores on the offensive end. I mean even if he didn't score one bucket, he is still very important to have on the court. For his height, its true, he could score a little more inside shots. He hasn't developed the inside game in his life i guess bc he was always a SF and just kept growing , until he reached a centers height by the time he got drafted. And even though he doesn't have fancy inside hookshots , fakes, etc. I think he has done a better job in Boston, being conscious to utilize his size more and score some buckets closer to the basket. But even then, his 18 ft jumpers have been near automatic these past few years, its pretty incredible. Maybe he feels if its not broken, why fix it.
Whats your take on the argument?
