KP's stat line is nearly identical to Dirk's through 3 years, except KP is playing significantly fewer minutes. I can easily see KP averaging 25+ pts per game. The key question is when will the Mavs be able to go to KP for a bucket late in games....
When the game is on the line - and teams are forcing the ball out of Doncic's hands - when will Carlisle be able to count on KP to put the ball in the net or draw a foul?
I don't think we really know if KP can handle this role now or not. I haven't seen him carve out a go to spot on the floor or signature move ....but maybe he can and Doncic and the rest of the team just need to figure it out. I think he's still working his way back and the team is still learning how to play together.
