I think the answer is pretty obvious. I used to think that KP could turn into a great shooter but he is below average from 3. Average from midrange. His motion looks great and he has deep 3-point range but the percentages are mediocre.
In his prime Dirk was shooting 50% on long 2s. Combined with a high FTA that´s efficient offense. KP is slightly above 40%. Not enough. Especially in the modern NBA. Overall offensive efficiency is reaching new highs.
League average TS in 2021: 57.2%. KP 58.2% (career high)
League average TS in 2011: 52.7% Dirk 60.1%
League average TS in 2001: 51.8% Dirk 61.1%
