So just for the record (and speaking of LYING EYES), let's look at KP's synergy tracking stats of when he is switched onto the ball handler in the pick and roll (for the last three years there was enough data on him):
16-17: 0.79 PPP (70.5 percentile)
17-18: 0.55 PPP (96.2 percentile)
19-20: 0.50 PPP (98.0 percentile)
KP is actually ELITE at switching onto the perimeter ball handler in the pick and roll and shutting that down. Yes, there have of course been times we can all remember that KP has gotten beat on the perimeter, but overall history has shown that KP can switch onto the perimeter very effectively as a defender.
