We have had a lot of guys in that role historically and I don't remember any of them having an offensive game to punish smaller players. If you had said "I have been waiting for the Mavs to get a Pick and Roll partner that can punish smaller players" then I would have agreed.
Of course technically Luka has had pick and roll partners....shoot even JB has been a pick and roll partner with him. When I have been asking for a pick and roll partner, I have essentially been asking for a "star" pick and roll player, a player with the talent, expertise, and skill to open up the offense in that role. I hoped KP was that...he was NOT. I am hopeful CW is that.
