Apparently Self is reeruned then, because KJ’s defense is by far the biggest reason he starts and plays so many minutes.

We're throwing around terms like "defense liability" but that's in context. We mix up his defensive versatility and team defense with post defense. KJ is terrible as a low post defender because he has no length... Like none at all. Self overvalues his ability to guard the perimeter as a big (with switching), and his help defense (which is the staple of Self's team concept). There aren't very many on this team that do it well, except KJ. That's why he gets all the minutes he's given.
