2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[ItsGoTime]

I think the article underrates the impact of good screeners. Looking at screen assists we have Gobert, Poeltl, Sabonis, Adams and Ayton leading the league.
Mavs could use another big but getting rid of KP was addition by subtraction when it comes to the pick and roll.

Powell 91.3 percentile
Kleber 91.8 percentile
Chriss 80.8 percentile
KP 50.5 percentile

With the added bonus that no one is clogging the paint or demanding post ups. Leading to an increased efficiency for pick and roll ballhandlers in the first few games since the trade.

I saw maybe 4 or 5 actual picks KP set during his entire time here. Can't call playing tag with the defenders a pick (they never played freeze tag unfortunately...maybe that was KP's problem, he thought they were) and you can't call it a pick just because you know that's what he's supposed to do.

I would have felt a lot better about this TDL if we could have worked in a trade for Holmes.

Even better would have been to not have THJ on the team and have Holmes instead before the TDL.
