Most efficient season, yes. And also perhaps his worst season since his rookie year. IMO, that's the problem with over-relying on advanced stats. There's more to basketball and player development than spreadsheets.
I've gotta think Kidd may have a few other ideas beyond standing KP in the corner and feeding him non-stop isos at the elbow. If nothing else, I like the idea of seeing what it takes to make him as productive as possible. No more excuses on either side. And it's a terrific opportunity not only for KP to show what he's made of but also for Kidd to reestablish some coaching cred. It's in the interest of both parties to exceed expectations.
