Better career KCP or A Afflalo

[Southern Piston]

I compared these two stats, just wanted to see some opinions, and thoughts.

KCP will play for a team who should make the Playoffs more often and be the 3-4 option, not the 1-2 like AA was in Orlando. I'd say really close tho, really can't choose. Seeing what KCP does this year would really help tho

KCP

Both are the type to win a championship ring with if you put them in the right system with good coaches in place. They're like the Ariza type. Professional, solid, good defense. Good comparison. I just hope KCP can shoot as well as AA does.

Pope does. At home.


There would be zero talk of trading pope, questioning anything about him, if he played the same for 41 games on the road, as he did at home.

15.5 ppg
39.4 3p%
44.5 fg%

He did that for 41 games last year. With his defense, he would be looking at a Carroll style of contract easily if he produced that for 82 games.

He's young and one has to hope it's just a rookie mental style block.

The difference between his home and away stats is stark to say the least, so there is some concern that he can truly correct it;

9.9 ppg
28.0 3p%
35.0 fg%

That's absurd.

AA had a very good (top 5 at his position worthy) season with the Magic a few years ago where he flat out lit it up. Great percentages, high scoring and a decent amount of rebounds/assists as well. But aside from that season, he's largely been a 3&D guy. And a good one at that.

KCP doesn't have to do much to have a better career than AA will end up having, so hopefully it's KCP.
