I agree, but he'd STILL be used as the screener, just like Powell, because he's better at it than KP, just like Powell. I really think he'd play the 5 here on offense, just like Powell. It's why I liked him in the first place, because I saw him as a Powell replacement and even an upgrade in some ways. SINCE THEN, we've learned that KP PREFERS playing the 5 on offense with Kleber or DFS spacing for him. I have no idea WHY KP prefers that, because the data seems to tell us that him spacing for Powell/Luka is like a cheat code for the NBA...but there we are.
I don't think that, specific problem, KP's outlook, gets solved by adding Collins. If anything, he might see it as even MORE competition for the ball.
