KP's ability to shoot from distance at an efficient rate, coupled with his historical great rim protection and high mobility (for a bigman). Also he's 7'3 and that size alone changes how teams need to prepare for you.
Just a very unique package that you really never see. His biggest downfall is availability and it remains to be seen if he can stay healthy. I know KP hasn't really flashed any of this recently in his return, but we saw just a glimpse in game 2 against the Clips of how good the Mavs can be with a healthy KP and Luka.
Siakam meanwhile looks to me like Giannis lite. A very good player in his own right, but he doesn't seem to me the guy you can build a team around. KP I think does have that talent.
Obviously though I can see an argument for either side. They're at very similar points in their careers.
