GAME 46: PHX (35-9) @ DAL (26-20) | 109-101 loss

[Arioch]

KP will be 27 in August and guys that old just don't reinvent themselves. KP is a better than average player with a limited offensive game. He has no counters and often just does what he thinks can get him a bucket, no flow or consistency in his game. 

As I said, I am not buying KP as a number 2 and likely will for this inability to score in the post. For the Mavs to be serious KP will need to be the number 3 option behind Luka and and a legit 1b or number 2 quality starter. .

Dirk was 26 his first season without Nash and 27 in his first full season with Avery. And he also hadn't lost almost 2 full years to a major injury. It is certainly possible for KP to make significant additions to his game even at this point--assuming he has the ability, the willingness, and the proper guidance on how to do that.


(And he stays healthy which is always the caveat for him).
