Excellent defensive awareness, and he doesn't die on screens.. Fights even when beat off the dribble.
Here he is giving Steph and Klay trouble. |

Can anyone explain to me how in the hell a player like this is renounced?
Jesus Magic is one of the luckiest SOBs I've ever seen.
Needed a top 3 pick...check
Needed a leader...check
Needed to unload a horrendous contract...check
Needed a dope SG to replace DLo...check
This team just got worlds better than last year roster, chemistry, and talent wise in 1 offseason with ZERO wiggle room.
AND we're open for business next year?

Cranjis McBasketball twitter (@T1m_NBA ). He is killing my good vibes although the positives are he's above average on catch and shoot and PnR scoring  |

Stat guys rarely pay attention to defense and even when they do defensive stats are extremely flawed, I'm optimistic |

I mean honestly though, the alternatives at 2 were Hart and JC. Surely KCP is a better option than those two. And there weren't any other decent FA's of note |

System also makes a huge difference. From the few times I saw the pistons play, aren't they a slower paced team?
KCP seems built to run all game long. |

I though I read Detroit was hard capped. They also probably didn't want to pay him what his agent was demanding. Either way, their loss our gain |

I don't think it's even in question. KCP's ability (supposedly) to guard the opposing teams best G and lock him down ALONE makes this a huge signing. His highlights clearly show he will have the ability to run and finish at the rim.
The big question mark is if he will be able to shoot a high enough % from 3 to really make him valuable. |

Avery Bradley is good player...but I'm all about paying guys I developed insane money...this kid looks lightening quick and ferocious on D...paired with Ball and in Luke's system..
He gonna be able to back up the brink's truck next June. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."

We've been starving for a good defender, so much so we call poor average. KCP has the potential to lock down, rotate and hit 3's eventually like Ariza or dare we say Coop level? |

Pope will be licking his chops next to Lonzo.
Good pickup and a really good complimentary player.
Gotta have faith.
Thank you Magic for getting it done. |

KCP
62nd best SG in DRPM
22nd %ile ODR
20th %ile driving D
10th %ile iso D
39th %ile off screen D
I have concerns about that defense
Cranjis McBurnItDown @T1m_NBA 35m35 minutes ago

Replying to @T1m_NBA
39th %ile jump shooting D
26th %ile off dribble D
7th %ile mid range D
11th %ile floater D
13th %ile post D
35th %ile spot up D
Cranjis McBurnItDown @T1m_NBA 31m31 minutes ago
Positives from KCP's defense:
82nd %ile guarded catch and shoot defense
Best PnR defense on team (although just in 42nd %ile)
Cranjis McBurnItDown @T1m_NBA 31m31 minutes ago
39th %ile for overall PnR offense when you incorporate passes as well. 13th %ile on those pass outs
Cranjis McBurnItDown @T1m_NBA 27m27 minutes ago

KCP was 9th worst in driving efficiency of the 210 players who had 100+ drives last season
Cranjis McBurnItDown @T1m_NBA 23m23 minutes ago

Just checked Synergy for historical KCP data and defensively he's had the same weaknesses every year since he's been in the league
Cranjis McBurnItDown @T1m_NBA 22m22 minutes ago
More
This isn't one fluky year of weird defensive data. He's consistently poor defending PnR, iso, off screens, drives, and off dribble shots
Cranjis McBurnItDown @T1m_NBA 13m13 minutes ago
More
Offensively KCP brings a couple skills:
70th %ile PnR scoring (13th %ile passing)
67th %ile catch & shoot
Those the only 2 big positives
Cranjis McBurnItDown @T1m_NBA 9m9 minutes ago

Playing w/Jackson & Drummond doesn't help (2 awful defenders), but remove those 2 & KCP is Detroit's worst defender by PPP |
There's more from other people, but this is already a lot. |
