He's much smarter, defensively (an assumption I'm making based on what I've seen, so far). To compare the two is a stretch, imo.Once again, you keep saying this based on this previous year's contribution. KP, being 25 years old, still has every chance to be what Gobert is (if he continues to be an offensive threat and 20-25 ppg scorer, he probably won't make it there). As a whole (meaning going back further than this previous season), he's about 3/4ths there. That 1/4th is a big step though, to not discount what Gobert is.
So, him BEING 3/4 the player Gobert is, the rest of the team needs to be that much better on the perimeter. THEY aren't close to being what KP needs them to be as a rim protector.
