Heck, imagine if we had done Crowder or Batum last summer to go with Bullock/Sterling this summer (never mind, that’s completely another topic). But, more than anything, we need good KP back. There isn’t any secondary playmaker who is going to make more of a difference than Good-KP makes. And, there isn’t any secondary playmaker who can make up for Bad-KP.
I strongly believe losing Seth Curry is a big reason for "bad KP".
Seth was a real spacer and secondary playmaker in combination with Brunson on the offensive end, but also adept in transition defense and able to funnle somebody into KPs helpdefense. He wasn´t good against bigger players that can shoot over him for sure.
Having four interchangeable offensive guards kept them all fresh and at a high level. Ever since Brunson tore his labrum we were short in this category.
