Tracking data for all post up touches.
Playtype data for post up attempts that end with a shot attempt/shooting foul/tov.
0.99PPP when he finishes the play himself. 0.4tov. 0.2ast. I guess the mentioned 70% number is about the points percentage. KP scores 3.7pts on 5.4 post up touches. One of the best numbers in the league. But post up touches include all possessions and it is easy to understand why he looks really good. He rarely passes out of the post. Meaning that nearly all of his post touches end with shot attempts, fouls or tov.
For comparisation: Jokic 9.4 touches / 5.4 pts. 3.8 passes. Leading to less points per post up touch.
Thanks for posting that. The data is a little confusing as the first set has him at 5.4 "post up touches" per game and the second has him at 4.0 post ups per game. Whatever it is that is counted in the first and not the second makes KP look really good.
But, even in the second set, if you screen for players who have a 20% or higher frequency, KP isn't too bad. There are 19 of those (some changed teams and count twice) and KP is 9/10/11 in most measures. It doesn't suck to have the 10th (?) best post up guy in the league who also hits 36% on 3's.
