Mavs 113, Nuggets 117

I know you framed the above as a question, but is that what you believe? 

It is. Truly. I feel like recency bias is warping the perception of KP a bit. 

He isn't the perfect player, but when healthy he is a transformative defensive figure with the offensive skills closer to Klay Thompson than a big man. It's rare that combination. And it just so happens to be an ideal fit next to Luka. 

He has downsides of course, like any player. His ability to stay healthy is the biggest concern. I think he can be better in picking his spots rather than shooting his way out of a slump. But I feel like his positives more than outweigh his negatives and its just a matter of time before he's back to putting up all-star numbers.
