It is a combination of both. KP is not playing good D this season in general. However, WHO he is with makes a big difference.
Last year's DRating...
KP+Maxi: 107.4
KP+DP: 105.3
KP overall: 109.3
KP was much better alongside another big last year. Same for KP in NYK. Same for KP this year. This is a thing. KP has been much better defensively with another big next to him. Facts.
