KP can punish wings pretty simply by just shooting over them. He has such a high release point it's hard to contest his shots. I feel like teams will eventually have to go back to guarding KP with bigger players if he can just focus on getting high quality shots over smaller players. Right now KP wants to back them down but he's not strong enough, he doesn't pass good out of double teams, high center of gravity, his footwork stinks, etc.. It's just a total waste and he could still be very effective as a jump shooter. Lots of talented offensive players don't have a post-up game. KP has yet to come to grips that he should drop it and focus on other areas.
You may be right. If true this is the source of KP trying to figure out how to fit into our system. Basically how to get those extra touches without being featured in the post.
