This is a non-sense discussion by the TNT crew. Of course they are correct Shaq and Barkley, if we were discussing a player that can and knows how to post up as well as shoot from outside. In case the post up game is better, of course one should focus more on that. In that case RC would design the offense accordingly.
But no, here we are discussing KP. He has no post up game. Carlise did use him posting up, every single game at least once and sometimes several or many times. He just cant do it! What Shaq/Barkley say is a "high percentage shot" is absolutely not true. Its a high percentage shot for Shaq/Barkley/Duncan. Its a low percentage shot for KP. Just because you are tall, it doesnt mean you can post up. We have seen KP against small guys and KP is the one that gets pushe away from the post and this is a low percentage shot.
You have to utilize the best of KP's game and that absolutely his 3 point shot and space the floor. Rick Carlise wins this discussion by far.
However there are other elements that are high percentage that Luka/KP are starting to implement. KP being on the weak side outside the ark on Lukas drives and Luka throwing it up for KP cutting to the basket for dunks. Also once KP is getting better at screens watch out for this dimension as well.
