2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[dirkfansince1998]

If KP is one of our top players offensively (the rest of the league doesn't play for the Mavs), and I contend that he is, then my statement is the opposite of what he said.  Because his assertion is either that KP is not a top option of the options that we have on our team, which I disagree...he's top 3 every night, and top 2 most nights OR you don't run plays for him.

And you know why the Knicks were so bad that year?  Because they look like us when Luka is off the floor... the leading scorers in that game were Micheal Beasley (off the bench), KP and Courtney freakin Lee...  If you want to live off of iso ball with Jalen "never saw anyone open like me" Brunson as your non-Luka option, go right ahead. 

Bingo. I take my chances with Brunson and THJ over KP. Last season both had more success as creators than KP.
KP is a valuable part of the offense but I see him as a finisher. Not a creator. Catch and shoot, cuts, easy points in the paints. If play calls can get him a few clean looks from 3 or dunks/layups in the paint I am all for it. Maybe we will see a completly new KP next season but based on everything I have seen from him in the past (including the Knicks seasons) I don´t think of him as a top 3 creator on this team.
