Yeah, the comments KP has made about Luka is great. I think KP realizes he is never going to be Luka, but he wanted to be treated differently than a DFS type. Treat him as your 1B or clear 2. I think he feels like he is being viewed that way this year. Instead of you can shoot when you are open like DFS, but now we are going to look for you and keep you engaged. If that means you give him a few clunky postups a game, fine. If it means he gets to touch the ball only to rotate it, fine. Just keep him engaged. If he feels engaged the more likely he will run the court harder, defend better or not force a shot when he does get his hand on the ball.
Now he needs to prove he is up to the task and more importantly he can stay healthy and someone Luka can trust and count on. But it has been a good start.
