I remember KP killing him and thinking he's to tall for Rondae, cuz he gonna shoot over the top on him. He can't do that wit

Rondae locked up KP twice in preseaon, did a great job last year and the end of the year on him and also held his own in this years meeting ... although KP did hit a few hooks over him.
i like Rondae on him. id rather have KP backing down rndae then driving on allen or worse pulling allen away from the rim where he cant help on D
that was a different KP doh.
You make a valid point on Rondae on KP means more back to the basket, turn around shot, weak side can't collapse on him. But if Allen picks him up top of the 3 he runs him off that line. I'd rather have KP shooting runners and getting 1-3 dribble shots than a turn around jumper. I don't know it's tough to rate the D on KP effect.
some of his points came off extra effort plays from our D breaking down, not a great night for our guards this night. I'm trying to picture this.
EDIT: Divulging Porzingis' weakness. He struggles shooting the pull up shot. 40.4 % is his high. And once you run him off a line and close hard 37.5% (these are 1 dribble shots)
