23-24 ppg alone gets him in the conversation.
I don't disagree but here's the thing (and this is why I felt inclined to take our bet, not my opinions of KP):
Who does he replace? Gobert? Davis? Jokic? I'd say all three of those dudes are going to be there, even if they all randomly decide to shoot only at their own baskets, scoring only points for the opposing team, between now and then.
I suppose you could argue that Zion being out provides a crack of an opportunity, but in my opinion he's in as long as he sees the court for a full two weeks beforehand. He's just so popular.
