They are both shooters, not like KP is scoring a lot under the basket. I think the number has a lot to do with what defense allows. I think KP gets a lot of attention, much more than THJ. DFS and also JRich are often left wide open, which is why they receive a lot of passes.
So is a smart Luka play to pass to guarded KP or to an open DFS/Maxi/JRich?
I am not arguing with this...
But...I will say that some of Luka's bad chucks from three could be spread around to other teammates.
In his defense...I think he does it more on nights where we are trash on offense...we are in a hole and he is going to try and dig us out since no one else is stepping up or can create a shot for themselves.
IF...IF...KP is on our team still and we make the playoffs....IF KP can find a rhythm with that bank shot off the glass like he was hitting constantly in the bubble from 8-10 feet....that shot might be better than JRich or DFS shooting open shots. But...I dont think the math guys like that shot.
