KAT is feeling it now. I know a lot of people think we should send him out, or that he makes our team worse, but the best version of this Wolves team (at least for this year) almost certainly needs him.

If the team we've been for the first few games can basically add the 3rd team all-NBA version of KAT we go from a great defensive team that is mediocre offensively to a team like the Celtics that are elite on both ends of the court.

Without KAT the 3-point shooting on this team becomes very suspect. The likelihood that we could send him out and get a comparable shooter in the rotation is basically zero.

Yes, maybe the new second apron rule forces us to send him out eventually, but not giving him a chance to work back into form would be short-sighted and hurt one of the most promising teams we've had in decades.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
