While it's true that they have this particular struggle in common, that's where the similarities end for me. I mean, they're both great shooters I guess, but young Dirk's face up game - his two dribble pull-ups, his ability to floor the ball and drive with effective purpose, his ability to go coast to coast with the ball - was sooooo much more varied and lethal than KP's is right now. Those extra 3" work against him in terms of coordination, I think, relative to Dirk.
Doesn't mean KP is destined to fall flat here, I'm just saying that we're doing him a disservice by comparing him to Dirk. On the flip side, young Dirk had no business playing center, probably even in today's game.
