I realize he may not be a traditional center but I looked up ‘19/‘20 starting centers with over 1000 minutes and he was 29th out of 30 on shooting percentage. The only one worse was Markkanen.
But last year he expended a lot of energy on rebounding and defense too. Plus his role changed on offense. Also there was a stretch without Luka where we played well and KP was leading the team.
Even if you feel that those are excuses, he was spectacular in the playoffs until he got hurt. Need that player back.
