I have watched Mavs games and while Kidd is running more sets for KP around the basket, he's still more comfortable on the perimeter. That's what I meant. Just my take...
Ok, but right now they're playing Powell instead, not a wing. I'd think Kleber would be a step up from there against smaller defenders, no? And, if the other team is really beating you by going small, there's always sliding DFS to the 4. That would probably be the best case scenario for the Mavs' roster, imo.
I'm not arguing what/who KP is or what he's comfortable with. I tend to agree with you about that. I'm just talking about what the team is trying to do. I'm sick of seeing Luka/Powell pick and roll with KP (and his defender) between them and the basket, and I'm sick of seeing KP in the high post with Powell (and his defender) between KP and the basket. It's just asking for ugly, ineffective basketball, imo.
