And I'm not just talking about the injuries. Even when he's healthy, he's pretty far away from being consistently a Top 25 player. He needs to either raise his 3PT% to better than 35% to reach truly elite stretch big status like KAT, or he needs to do other traditional big things like get to the free throw line and/or develop a low post game and exploit getting matched up on smaller players and make 2s at a higher level. KP having the injury excuse has shielded him from criticism for his on court game.
KP has been very predictable. He will either take that low percentage three 1 ft behind the line with a hand in his face. He will post up or face up and shoot or will drive. When Dirk had the ball he would give a series of fakes and feel out the defense. KP makes up his mind and does something irregardless of the defense. He needs to feel out the defense. Doncic on the other hand is super dynamic, everything he does on the court is 2 moves ahead. Sometimes when I watch him and he does something I wonder why go there its crowded and 2 seconds later a lane forms and he has an easy layup.
