We were 2.5 points better offensively with KP on the floor. But, we absolutely died defensively with KP on the floor. We were 6.8 points worse defensively with KP (which accounts for the -4.9 On-Off). Blocks and Steals...worst of his career. D-Rating...worst of his career. DWS and DBPM...worst of his career. Was that on Carlisle? Maybe, but that doesn't meet the eye-test to me. Was his decline injury related? If so, I would expect to see improvement as he got more and more into game shape. I don't see that in the monthly splits. Was it mental fatigue and frustration with the challenging locker room? Maybe, but KP was certainly a contributor to the toxicity.
Greatness. I wish we could pay you to write here all day.
