Russell | KCP | Levert | RHJ | Allen

i love that as a young core.

Same. That's why I'm all in favor of acquiring this dude.

I'm not sure how people are saying this guy doesn't "fit". He is a 3 and D type with room to improve under a staff that focuses on player improvement.

Us having our cap space tied up in porter is a GREAT thing....

like if porter wasnt an RFA we would have given KCP a max offersheet before the boston deal even happened.

I get what you're saying but it's not fun when you are excited that circumstances outside of your GM's control are the only things blocking your team from overpaying a player. We already had years of fright with Billy King. I don't think my heart can take any more.

dude... once is an accident, 4 times is a pattern... marks has the basketball gods looking out for him. even when he offers bad deals they never stick

dude dodges bullets like Spider-Man i dunno if that's a good thing or not

KCP stats filtered in games with at least 35 minutes played (35 games):

17.5 PPG
3.8 RPG
2.9 APG
1.5 SPG
42.0% FG (avg 14.5 attempts per)
36.4% 3PT (avg 7.2 attempts per)
83.5% FT (avg 3.1 attempts per)
54.9% TS%
1.1 turnovers
38.3 minutes per game

Like I said, he would be considered much better if he simply improved as a shooter and/or had better shot selection.

I guess in the games where he gets big minutes, he thinks he's Steph Curry with those 7.2 3PA.

I think Kenny would get him to calm down and see that he can be so much better if he just played a bit smarter.

Yeah... with all the info we have now i still dont get why people think Allen Crabbe is some elite three point shooter and KCP is some weak shooter.

If KCP took 97% of his threes on catch and shoot like crabbe instead of 78% and took 3 attempts a game instead of 6 his percentage would be MUCH higher...

and this isnt just all speculation...on catch an shoot corner threes KCP shot 46.7%

on the nets he wont be the primary ball handler. maybe not one of the top 2-3 ball handlers (lin, Dlo, levert). he will likely have alot fewer off the dribble threes (we take very few as a team outside of lin transition pull ups) and more on the catch. he could easily see his 3 point percentage go to 37-38+ just by taking fewer 3's off the dribble.

Agreed. 37% or better on high volume shooting is very good.

Another thing... detroit is AWFUL at developing talent. drummond, Harris, Johnson, KCP... none of those guys improved under SVG. i think we could get alot more out of him then detroit did

Yeah, I don't know what's going on there. I expected Stanley Johnson to have grown a lot in his time in the NBA. He had the chops to be an elite defender coming out of the draft. I think he has the versatility to become a very good offensive player over the course of a few years.

Perfect perimeter defender to pair with LeVert.
