I just don´t get this take. His lack of defense, rebounding and toughness wasn´t on the coaches/gameplan. Him not being able to post up Mann or Jackson isn´t on the coaches. Not like the Mavs did not try it. It´s a playoff series. The Mavs wanted to win. Not showcase KP. The margin of error is small and post ups and isos for a guy that is an league average shooter without a reliable post up game are probably the best way to lose the series in 5 games. We saw how a team that runs the offense through KP looks. Would have been a great option in the pre Luka years because KP lead teams finished with top 5 lottery odds.
Is that really the best option on offense? He obviously doesn´t brick everything but he is shooting low 40s on those kind of shots, turns it over a lot and doesn´t draw any fouls.
