Obviously highlights don't show the ugly parts.
My point is more in the way KP was moving and defensive activity in the lane (4 blocks?). We haven't seen much of that guy since he came back from the first knee injury, which is what everyone thought DAL was trading for.
If that's a starting point, I think Luka's skills and somebody like LM, or even Kleber, to keep the defense honest could help KP find his role and make everybody forget about last season.
