IMO the team needs to be able to do both. 1) Team KP with a rim runner and have KP space the court. 2) Have KP as the rim runner.
One of the problems is that KP has been a below average to average rim runner so far in his career. 34th percentile in his last year in NYK, 65th percentile last year (HUGE improvement), 57th percentile this year so far.
I said it when he arrived here, KP NEEDS to learn how to roll to the rim effectively (80th percentile or better IMO) in tandem with Luka if this team wants to win a championship. I am seeing progress there and am hopeful.
