Well, I just mean he is comfortable getting shots off the catch from anywhere, using 1-2 dribbles for pull-ups from anywhere, shooting turnarounds from the high or low post, rolling to the rim (he has pretty good hands, actually), etc. I agree his post game bag isn't very full, and I'm not holding him up as some offensive superstar, to be sure. He seems almost completely unable to create shots for others, unless you count creating space through his mere presence. That's significant, of course, but it's still frustrating that he can't impose creation on the defense, especially given the contract and status on the team.
My overall point is that at THAT position, for a GOOD team, defense MUST be part of your game. I'm done with KP for that reason, alone, without even having to care about any debate on his offensive skillset. Basically, any center who can be a plus defender consistently in the modern game is a better fit for this team than KP, imo.
