in typical KP fashion, he went from making 3 of his first 4 shots to bricking the rest.

Luka needs to stop taking those terrible step back 3's. I still don't get all the hype for him. He's like a glorified Nicolas Batum to me.

KP looks like the same ol KP to me. Good but not great


Whoah. Yes Inefficient to some extent. Maybe that won't go away either. But just a natural baller. The dribble between the legs. Maybe he'll be more Jason Williams than Bron.

He's pretty inefficient. Luka is good but he's not this generational type talent people keep calling him. He's not good defensively, takes a lot of bad shots, pretty limited athetlically.

Zion is someone worth the hype to me, not Luka.

I know we don’t want to see KP succeed but it’s their first game, he and Luka. They are definitely talented. It’s tough to watch this.

Lol at the Luka hate


The guy is a playmaker and definitively makes his teammates better. Then add on the fact that he can shoot threes and create his own shot at his size is really rare. How many point forwards are there???


Now google his age....


KP is the one that’s overrated... luka is a piece that can play alongside anyone and anything in any system and tempo. He’s a beast

I don't feel that envy. KP is a little soft and a little lacking in natural offensive talent.

*He hit Blake and it was a brick wall. KP wasn't backing him down 2 inches. Trump Sad!

KP is attempting to set screens. That's a start.

I don't mind Drummond. He's somewhat underrated to me. Guy is an off the radar occasional beast.

Sheesh! KP still looks physically weak. You can still body him up and throw him off. 20 months and he comes back without added strength? Pathetic

Crazy how Blake has evolved as a player. From dunking machine to basically a point guard. Hope Julius can get to that type of play. We might be a Lil more than competitive if he could

The thing I felt about KP still worries me (though worries me a lot less now lol) ... he looks and feels spindly and like he doesn't have any real secondary moves.

He's a bit of a rag doll out there too. I don't know. I just think his thing is D and maybe getting his 3 up to 40%. The rest I'm a little unsure about. Is he going to come in with tree trunk legs at any point? Nah.

Getting two young pieces like Doncic and Porzingis together is every front office's goal / wet dream. They're 20 and 24 years old respectively so there's a lot of potential there. I just don't think they're anywhere close to being a good playoff team. They will need to step up their game a lot. Rookie Doncic and New York Porzingis isn't getting them anywhere.

He's going to break again. It's inevitable

Bit of a lucky tip-in there but KP does now have 2 dunk like finishes. That's notable.
