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

Beauty of highlights. KP needed 24 FGA to score 24pts. Missed all of his FTs. 46.6% TS, 5 tov. Responsible for half of Markkanen´s points because he did not defend the 3-point line.

Obviously highlights don't show the ugly parts.

My point is more in the way KP was moving and defensive activity in the lane (4 blocks?). We haven't seen much of that guy since he came back from the first knee injury, which is what everyone thought DAL was trading for. 

If that's a starting point, I think Luka's skills and somebody like LM, or even Kleber, to keep the defense honest could help KP find his role and make everybody forget about last season.
