Why the Mavs are Potentially Much Better Already...

they're counting on KP for an awful lot on both ends. Chief rim protector? Luka's chief PNR partner? Mmm. I don't know. I just don't know.

Is it possible that a healthy KP will just naturally be those things again? I realize we just came off a season of major regression in those areas (especially defense)/(less pick n roll may have been a strategy) but KP’s ongoing health challenge could have played a role in what Carlisle was asking of him in the game plan(offensively).
