Another outstanding game for KCP, this is probably the best extended stretch he's ever played in his career. The best thing about this stretch is that the things he is doing are things he could reasonably do consistently 2 years from now: slashing on straight line drives, knocking down spot up threes, getting out in transition.

His motor and physical tools scream potential to be a top 3-5 two way shooting guard in this league. He only had one 20+ scoring point game last year, and he's got 14 so far this season. The consistency is not there yet, but he's developing and showing flashes of being a very good player...anyone who can't see that doesn't watch the games.

He is moving on up the all-time list for 3's for players 21 or younger when the season started... Top 20 for sure, trying to find the list

even with his shooting inconsistency, KCP looks light years ahead of where he was last season. He's aggressive, he's improved his handles, his defense has improved... it's definitely coming together for him. Another offseason of getting stronger and working with the team and we could have an all star on our hands next season. I'm optimistically hoping for a derozen type season from KCP next year. I think he's close to that level.

Actually.. add 5 to that.. I don't think it has updated yet. He is #10.

Tied with Ben Gordon and Rudy Gay.

We should be VERY happy with KCP considering what he brings to the table defensively. He is developing as well as anyone could imagine he could. What a crazy ass season this has been.

Last year, when he was drafted, this place and every form of social media blew up at the thought of KCP being picked over him.

Funny how things change in a year...

Ben mac who ? Seriously,I think kcp will be the mike conley of sg,he does all the little things,great teammate,great player,but will somehow get over looked and not as hyped as other guards in this league,which I dont mind at all.Or he could totally break out and become #2 shooting guard in the league lol.

I can't remember his draft fully, but if they did a re draft, he might go top 5?

I know it wasn't suppose to be best draft, but looks like it could have very good players like Giannis, Oladipo, KCP, and i'm probably missing some.

Oladipo i think is slightly ahead of KCP, Steven Adams, Muhammad, Olynyk, Giannis, shroder, dieng, plumlee, THJ, Gobert, mclemore.

i think Oladipo is the only completely player ahead of KCP
Adams ,Dieng, Gobert and plumlee maybe also because they are bigs

i think if they do a redraft 2 years from now, we'll find this draft had a bunch of franchise players in and outside the lottery

CJ McCollum is finally playing well, he was the guy I wanted and KCP was my second choice.
