Last year KP was -6.9 on the defensive end. This KILLED the Mavs last year, just KILLED them. In two games (small sample size theater!!!!) this year he is +13.6. Of course his offensive impact has been an ABOMINATION this year (shooting 33% and 23% from three doesn't help), but the strides defensively are super promising.
We've only got two players that are shooting worth a crap so far, and neither of them is KP or Luka. THJ (52% from the floor, 53% from 3) and Brunson (40% from the floor, 57% from 3) are the only players playing worth a dang offensively, so I would be pointing out the entire team is an ABOMINATION at this point offensively.
Luka 41% from the floor, 23% from 3
DFS 33% from the floor, 22% from 3
Dwight 50% from the floor (yay), 0% from 3
Maxi 25% from the floor, 28% from 3
Sterling Brown 12% from the floor, 14% from 3
Reggie Bullock 14% from the floor, 10% from 3
When you look at that list, you realize that 23% from there is horrible, but still equal to or better than most on the players who are getting minutes.
