The Deuce: That’s gotta be a fatigue thing though, which is specific to this season

KJ struggled with turnovers the entire year. It gradually got worse, yes, but it was also part of his scout coming in, if I recall. And in his case I think it was always connected to decision making, not physicality.

And the other thing with Keaton is that part of his upside is strength—he is clearly going to get way stronger in the next 3 years. KJ seemed more or less already filled out last year in terms of his build

Edit: And actually, looking at KJ’s game logs, the turnovers were a problem from Day 1, and if anything improved down the stretch. Don’t think it was tied in any way to wear and tear with him.

But yeah it will be a factor, just funny to see the hot take artists focusing on a missed dunk rather than 34 points on incredible shot making.

Only thing I’ll put in any stock in is the concern over turnovers the last two games, as he hasn’t seemed quite as in control as he did before those games. And we saw KJ progressively struggle with this as the accumulation of getting hacked on every drive started to wear on him.
