I'll start by pointing out that I'm not concerned about KP-at all. We're only 6 games in and he's looked terrific at times; and a little rusty at others, but I'm confident by mid-season he'll be even more dominant offensively.
Even now, he's looked pretty damn good, averaging 20 and 8 on percentages that match his last season in NY, while his overall scoring efficiency is up.
Interestingly, he's taking almost 2 more threes per game, but his shots overall are down almost 2 per game.
KP is doing great by just about any measure - but I think there's much more in the tank - as he's yet to develop a go-to move or spot on the floor the Mavs can go to late in games.
Carlisle is a mastermind of maximizing players' potential ... My question is what do you think will become KP's dominant move? What will opponents fear late in games?
