NBA Comparison: David Lee
Bio: You know Kirsch it really pisses me off how you get all these legitimate injuries and always just bounce right back from them. I fucking get injured a lot, too, but for some reason everyone thinks I’m a drama queen just looking for attention. It really makes me look bad. The fact that we haven’t had to call 911 for Kirsch this summer is incredible. There was that one time when his knee slammed into the pavement and I was 100% sure it had just shattered completely. I actually took 3 steps toward the bench and was about to get my phone and call an ambulance, and the next you know he’s back on his feet. Nobody likes a show off, bro.
Strengths: One of the best bangers we got. Freakishly strong and a difficult matchup for smaller defenders. Also one of the best rebounders in the league. Kirsch has worked on his offensive game a lot this summer, and the improvements are obvious. He now demands the ball in the post, and his teammates get him the ball because he can finish down low.
Must improve: Mitch said this at the Albies much more eloquently than I ever could, but Kirsch needs to work on his telegraphed passes. As a rule of thumb, if you look directly at your teammate for 5 Mississippi’s before passing it to him, the other team probably knows it’s coming.
