I don't even think I mentioned Bam once in this thread.

Easy to spot people who can't take it when someone criticizes one of their team's overpaid players.

I don't know how anyone could look at yesterdays game and blame KP. He was insanely dominant on defense and on the glass and the Mavs completely fell apart when he got subbed out late in the third. Had Carslie put him back in when the lead got cut to 15-20 or so instead of waiting for it to mostly evaporate, the Mavs almost certainly win that game. And if you look at the advanced analytics since Doncic went down, the Mavs have been awful whenever KP has been off the floor.

perfect number 2/3 guy, if you want him to be the number 1 like us in new York did, you will be disappointed. His impact on d, and ability to stretch the floor are to valuable for him to be less then a number 3 guy on a championship team. If he develops some sort of mean streak and strength to take smaller guys in the block he can be a 2 on a great team.

most young players are.
the league desperately needs new stars constantly so anyone with a pulse gets pumped up asap. Only a few actually make it tho.

KP has been great as a defensive anchor and floor spreader. He has no post game and not sure he ever will. He rushes things and doesn't have a cache of moves and counters. But off the dribble and as a floor spreader, he's been good lately.
