Playing against Lawson and Felton all summer long has probably helped him prepare for this upcoming season. Sure, no one plays D in pickup games, but to completely dismiss the experience wouldn't be fair. In fact, KI played a ton in the Smith Center this year, so KM probably matched up against him as well. A year of experience, a year of physical growth, and a year of improvement can make a really good PG and great PG. His idol is Jason Kidd. They both have the same sort of skill-set, how did Kidd work out?
