But I think the issue is and always will be (as long as he is around) KP. If KP gets his act together, then JC is a good fit defensively. If KP doesn't then NO ONE solves the problem (as we have seen with poor Maxi).
Agree. JC himself is a solid defender. Especially when it comes to man defense against guys of similar size (Randle, Siakam). It´s really difficult to find a good fit next to KP. He is getting bullied by real bigs like Valanciunas, Adams or Embiid. Also cannot defend in space. The unicorn has no real position on defense. In previous seasons his impact as a help defender around the rim was enough to make up for some of it but that´s not the case right now.
Collins wouldn´t solve either issue. Even more outmatched against the 7ft/260+ guys. Not as quick on the perimeter as Maxi or Melli. Already mentioned it a few times. The perfect fit next to KP is probably more of a unicorn than KP himself.
