KAT playing defense like this is a game changer. Straight-up, strong defense in the paint, shuffling his feet and keeping his hands active on the perimeter. Over the last few seasons, he’d improved from a bad defender to a mediocre defender, and this year he’s just actively a good defender.

An actual instance where playing harder and wanting it more was actually the key. With the change in his environment and personal growth, KAT is finally beaming into his full potential.

I think the main thing is stability and a clear role. Before Finch came, he had 5 coaches and 4 GMs iirc, so his role and training kept changing. Heck he had to change roles again last season. Now he's finally getting time to adjust to his new role and has the same coach and same teammates. Stability is underrated. Effort was never an issue with Towns.

Effort has never been a problem with KAT.

Sometimes it has where he gets mad about not getting a call/getting called on an offensive foul where he puts in 200% effort on the next play just to foul again. Happened like twice in the game 4 against Memphis
