KP's inability to feast on smaller defenders is definitely a thing, and I hope it's a symptom of his injuries. I think it's easy to look at this injury or that injury from strictly as strictly a physical or playing time cost cost like "Oh, this injury isn't a big deal because it's a 3-4 month rehab. He shouldn't have any longterm physical problems and he will be back by January without missing too many games", and not in terms of the opportunity cost in basketball development. Every offseason he spends focused on rehabbing from an injury is an offseason he could have spent working on developing a low post game. He's way more behind on his development than he should be at the age of 25. If James Wiseman still has the same game 5 years from now that he has today, I don't think Golden State would be happy.
