He is a bad screen setter, doesn't really make contact, takes bad angles, doesn't have the feel of how to roll, etc.
DP, Maxi, and Boban are all MUCH better pick and roll partners for Luka. And this is why Luka+KP has been BAD so far this season from a +/- perspective.
I have faith KP can and will get better at this. It NEEDS to be the main focus of his training frankly.
That´s a great point. Especially the part about screens. Watching Luka with Boban last night really showed how important hard screens are.
Right now I don´t really want KP to set those screens because I am still concerned about his health but longterm he needs to work on it. Dirk wasn´t Shaq either but his screens were solid.
