Avery Bradley - 14.5 PPG / 2.0 APG / 3.1 RPG / 1.5 StPG

KCP - 11.2 PPG / 2.2 APG / 4.8 RPG / 1.4 StPG

Also, KCP is 3 inches taller and 2.5 years younger. Bradley is a better shooter.
There is a case that KCP has a higher ceiling than AB.

I'm glad the team came through and helped KCP beat his old team.

Nice game by KCP. He didn't force anything and played hard-nosed defense.

13 points (4-10 fg / 2-5 treys), 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, +12.

K to the C to the P is a bulldog on D. He is so passionate on that end. If someone scores on him he takes it as a personal affront. I love that!

I think KCP is close living up to his pre-Laker rep in terms of giving defensive effort effectively. He's no defensive all-star by any means, but he is taking care of his position pretty well and that's a needed thing around here.

He's probably is falling a click sort of living up to the same level of contributions on the offensive end.

For me, it's so far, so good with him.

I thimk he's actually really good with his off ball defense more than his on ball defense for some reason.

I was a little worried about him not living up to expectations earlier but he has really come around lately and has been extremely solid and a great complimentary player to our other youngins.

KCP plays fast and I am quite impressed with how he helps his team even without scoring much. Great pickup for Lakers.

He's lived up to mine, he scored six points in 30 minutes as a two guard, hardly mind blowing for his 18mil salary. Meanwhile, the guy we cut to get him an extra million is starting for Chicago and scored 16 last night.

really pleased that Nwaba is solidifying an NBA career, but he is still not as talented as KCP. They are the same age, and KCP has many more skills on a court than Nwaba. Finally, Nwaba still cannot shoot....only attempting four 3 pointers so far this year.....he often is a spacing killer on the court, still mostly scoring his 6.9 PPG on off ball cuts and back door.

Glad Nwaba is playing well.

Don't think KCP will be here next year

Lol, you pick one arbitrary game where he scored more, vs the season which is 11 to seven in KCP's favor. What did you think of nwaba getting four points as the starter in the previous game?

And with such a large sample size who could argue that?

Meanwhile the Bulls play in a weaker conference and have a worse record than us.

Wow, I didn't realize that. Nwaba is actually like a month older than KCP.
