You can see it on paper with better FG% & more rebounds. KG can be such a bigger threat closer to the basket with easier shots, getting boards, getting to the free throw line, & putting the other teams bigs on the bench with foul trouble. Sure, he can hit the outside jumper, but that is rather one dimensional compared to all the things he can do around the rim. I like the way he seals his man & puts his hand up for Rondo. That play gets so many ez shots. Also, when KG dunks he shoots adrenalin into the team & especially the home crowd. Throw it down Big Man! He has the natural height advantage so he should try to use it down there. I know he talks about defense first, but offensive rebounding is the best defense. If they don't have the ball then they can't hurt you, & it demoralizes other teams to see all those 2nd & 3rd chances--especially after playing defense for 24 seconds. Offensive rebounding just sucks the energy & life out of the other team. I’ve seen more of an effort by KG to help Perk out with the inside game.
