This may be a moot point if KP is injured and misses games and maybe it is some overreaction after a terrible game, but I think you just need to bite the bullet and put KP as your 5. Now, both Gafford and Allen took it to him at times so that is not a reassuring image. But I think we may need to admit Rick made Powell and WCS look like NBA centers, while they may not be. I am sure Kidd has a vision, at least I hope, but he just doesn't have the pieces for that vision. Bad FO! So even with the injury concerns, start KP at Center. Heck make Boban the backup. He will get roasted on defense, but at least he provides some scoring inside.
Start Jalen (who was bad tonight) and move Hardaway to the 6th man. At the PF, I have no idea what to do there. I would prefer to limit Kleber's minutes and like him better off the bench. Maybe just throw Bullock out there and try to up the tempo a little. In reality though, there is not really much you can do with this limited roster. I just don't know how much further we can go trying to force feed a lot of minutes to centers who are lucky to be on NBA rosters. There is just a gigantic hole in the other front court spot. Not sure how that is filled.
KP, at times is moving better, but he has too many low shooting nights. He takes tough threes that I am not sure he has proven those are good shots for the team. I was in favor of keeping KP as I think it is the easiest way to contention, but I am really worried if he is a legit # 2 option and if he is going to be able to defend against the smart teams when it matters.
Maybe I am overreacting, but man this team sucks to watch right now.
