It?s not such a good thing if you?re supposed to be an NBA superstar. KG is a great player, but he?s not special</div> Link
KG has not had the season he had like last year. He is reverting back to bad habits he had last year. He needs to take contact and he needs to go to the paint a lot. He shouldn't be shooting jumpers. He has to average 25-30 free throws a night and he can do that by going to the paint like Amare Stoudamire always does. I still think he is a great player.
KG definitely showed signs that it's starting to sink at the end of the 3rd. He was continuosly driving to the paint and getting calls. He has to get to the line more, and he should start to get that. It's his team. I don't see alot of plays where KG can get a block and doesn't attempt to. The reporter makes it sound like he sees someone driving and starts to box out for the rebound, but I've seen plenty of times that prove otherwise. KG can be a better defender in the post by not biting on the pump-fakes though, 2 pumps and he's in the air (though when it gets to that point, 3 seconds should have been called). The only shots that I've seen KG really get burned on are plays where anyone would. When the offensive player does a great job of positioning his body in between the defender and his shooting hand. But hey, this guy can have his opinion.
I have to honestly say that this year, hes been nothing special. But last year...semifinals...he was definetely somthing special. KG could definetely work on his defense a little He just cant seem to handle other power-forwards for some reason. Last game I saw was against Houston, and his lack of D on Howard became a liability at one point. The problem this year has been his lack of offense. He just isn't getting it done. He really just needs to take more shots and especially get to the basket/foul line more often. He really hasn't been as agrresive as he should be, and I think part of the problem is that there are too many offensive "options" on the team now, which prevents him from being the center of offense.
