He leads the team in PPP as PnR ball-handler.
Khris runs PnR to get himself a pull up which is his best shot. He almost never threatens to turn the corner, has no ability to dribble in traffic, and lacks nuance. But he is very good at pulling up while dribbling around a ball screen. But we need someone who can actually run the PnR at an advanced level and isn’t only a threat to pull up.
I'd rather get a guy who can score off the bounce. This system utilizes PnR far less frequently than most teams, there's enough able players to handle that limited responsibility (Bledsoe, Hill, Midds).
We use PnR less partially because we dont have anyone worth putting the ball into their hands and because we are sorta dumb sometimes and Bud is stubborn. We should be running it more. Bledsoe and Midds aren’t good enough though, Bledsoe lacks feel and can’t reliably shoot off it and Middleton can shoot, but can’t threaten the rim because of his handle. Hill is the only guy who is a truly reliable PnR handler.
As far as a guy who can score off the bounce? A good PnR handler does give you that typically, but what player are you imagining who can score off the bounce but isnt able to be a PnR handler that would be actually worthwhile for us? I can’t think of a single player honestly aside from freaking Derozan or some junk, or the they’re total pipe dreams because they are star caliber and have a much larger skill set than just off the dribble attacking.
