He will be a perfect modern center if he can consistently play defense. He can’t because he is injured, or there are nights he doesn’t care. Plus he is great at weak side blocks but not on the man defense when put in PnR situations constantly. His offensive skillset is also suspect. Great at the occasional logo shot but can you feed him the ball 5 times in a row in the stretch and get 3 good possessions out of it? No.
The true unicorns are Jokic, Embiid and KAT. KP is not in their league. Not saying I am in a rush to just trade him, but we need to rank him correctly so that we don’t miss good opportunities to better the team.
He got that Unicorn label in N.Y. after Phil Jackson drafted him. I agree, he's not a Unicorn. Too inconsistent, and misses too much time for nagging injuries. I wouldn't classify Anthony Davis as one either, although his skill set is better than KP's when healthy.
