Excellent point; agree 100% - KP really needs to improve his screens if he's going to be an effective PnR player.
I'm sure there are some stats for this but my gut tells me KP is getting the majority of his points off deep three / catch & shoot; or put backs.
He's finishing, but he doesn't yet seem to be scoring well when offense runs through him.
He's been a surprisingly good passer though. When he develops a move or spot on the floor that commands a double team I think the vision is there for him to really develop into a playmaker.
Isn't this part of the support and development he wasn't getting in NY because he didn't have an adequate PnR partner?
To me, this is where the relationship with Luka develops and that's going to take working on the play's finer points and developing trust in each other. Obviously, Luka values KP as a spot up shooter and isn't afraid to pass it out to him, but (my observation) it's usually Maxi or DP that's diving to the rim whenever he drives. I think KPs working a little more off the post in the last few games, but maybe that's a mirage in my mind.
