Super interesting chart.

Notice that Luka is first in the league among PGs in contested threes....KP is second among Cs to Jokic....among PFs DFS and Maxi get almost as many open looks as Giannis.....and let's all throw our heads back at Wes Matthews for being the "shooting" guard no one actually guards!

Interesting chart. Thanks for posting that! Really shows how there’s a blurred line between positions these days. 

I wonder how many of those contested KP 3’s were contested by a 3/4 and not a 5 going out to the arc. Conversely, i wonder how many of Maxi open 3’s have the 5 “guarding” him. Seems like teams have been switching the smaller player to KP every game

it really begs the question too: how can we punish teams that do that? KP’s inside game and PnR. The two man game with Luka. If we can figure that out and somehow “clear the air” with KP-LD-RC we could have something special 

Its not popular here, but Maxi is almost the perfect front court partner to KP
