Game was over in the first quarter. In 9 minutes for KP......
1 successful defensive rebound
1 attempt at an offensive rebound
^The good stops there.
1 bad 3pt shot (defender in his face)
1 turnover that led to a wide open 3
4 pick and roll failures(all led to open 3’s)
5 times he’s in the restricted area and gives up the offensive rebound(Board within reach)
1 rebound likely out of reach(doesn’t raise his arms for an attempt at it)
And perhaps worst of all...
3 times Jazz guard/forward and KP are in the paint. Jazz player scores and KP doesn’t even raise his arms at all
Forget the missed shots, covid issues, ball movement, chemistry etc. We can work with an issue like him being a step slow and out of shape. It doesn’t take being in shape though to contest a shot. At least TRY even if you’re out of position. It’s a lack of heart/hustle/buying in to being part of this team. We don’t even know how good any of our guys are until this is fixed. This type of issue makes everyone on the team worse. Forget KP’s offense........ if he can’t/won’t rebound or protect the paint then we need to make a move with a Harden-esque sense of urgency
