the crazy thing about KP was that we always wondered:


"what would happen if he actually could play with a top tier passing pg?"


we got our answer.

since the guy hasn't improved one facet of his game since his rookie year, the only addition KP gets by playing next to a top tier passing pg is being able to jack up more bricks as he's just a dude that camps the 3pt line and provides elite help defense.

Only negative about the Mavs playing a back 2 back is that they will probably rest Porzingis which will give them a chance lmao.

Once we got the idea porzingis can’t handle big strong, even smaller guys. He couldn’t handle the NBA.

He’s too sloppy, awkward, weak, soft, unmotivated. His bbiq is awful; looks like a player who was tall and said I guess just shot a basketball since I’m 7’3”.

Now he Can’t even play fully because he’s an injury away from never playing again. He just walks around on the court

it makes you wonder.

If the formula of a iso/pnr guard + 4 shooters didn't work for Harden what would make anyone think its worth replicating again with Luka?

again I have to give credit to this board.

because I remember reading people debating stuff about KP's advanced rim protection stats (they are good) and people constantly arguing that if he actually played center he would suck and that he was only a good help defender.

looks like Dallas is starting to figure that out too.

ask yourself if you can recall a single KP highlight that involves him passing the ball.


his BBIQ is literally lower than JR smiths.
