2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

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.

KP not knowing how to set a screen is one of the most baffling things to me.  With all the coaches every team employs, how can someone not show him how to set a screen?  or stress the importance of it?

That seems like a small thing that separates the Warriors from most other franchises.  Something about their culture but they are really good at fixing the obvious fixable problems with players.
