It seemed to me that AK's game changed dramatically after his fractured wrist. He didn't go as agressive to the basket, and didn't go in the air as much. Also he had a couple of leg injuries that seemed to take away his jumping ability. I think they were all about within one year of signing that max contract.
It is no suprise that AK will miss the clippers game. An injury to AK or Bell was bound to happen. Look at how many games they've played in the past two years. (125/164 & 73/164). I won't criticize KOC for LHM's max contract for AK, but I will criticize him this years wing position. Hope the two rookie 'tweeners can learn to play.
