No matter which commentator participates in the Timberwolves' games, they will tirelessly introduce KG's contributions on the defensive end, constantly interfering and repositioning, highlighting his ability to limit points lost.
However, no matter how good the defense, no matter how much a team emphasizes defense, to go further requires the presence of a strong offensive player.
On the Pistons, this person could be Rasheed Wallace, or it could be Chauncey Billups.
On the Spurs, this person is Tim Duncan.
On the Timberwolves, this person is Sam Cassell and Sprewell. This is KG's biggest problem, he is the team's star player, drawing the highest salary, occupying the most preferred tactical position, but he himself cannot be the strong offensive player.
And because both Cassell and Sprewell can only be considered as All-Star level offensive players, the Timberwolves need both at the same time, so if one is off, the other can step up in time.
