KCP can still shoot he just can’t guard anyone anymore, which is at least half the reason he was playable. The finger injury won’t help that

KCP on a minimum as your 9th/10th rotation player is a great pickup.

KCP was just overpaid the last couple of seasons relative to production/role (22.7\( mil and 21.6\) mil compared to a minimum).

After philon and simons it’s nobody real. May as well prepare for any of maxey, edgecome, philon or simons to miss at least some games each. He’s not bad to help you get thru 82. Now playoffs who knows, probably nothing from him but I’ve seen dumber stuff happen

Giuseppe_exitplan | Australia

11 | 13 hours ago

Have you watched him at all the past two seasons?

At one point in his career yes, he was a good 3pt shooter but he was pretty underwhelming in Orlando, shooting 34% on 4.3 attempts and even worse most recently with the Grizz at 31.5% on 3.4 attempts.

I think it’ll pull up better playing with any combination Lebron/Brown/Maxey/VJ but he hasnt been a good shooter for a couple of seasons now.

bobbyawesome5

-2 | 13 hours ago

Bad teams. No point guard to set him up like a Lebron or Jokic like he’s use to.

KCP will shoot 40-45% off the bench this season and potentially be used as a starter in some games for defense.

Giuseppe_exitplan | Australia

8 | 13 hours ago

I cant speak for the most recent season w/ the Grizz but he had many open looks in Orlando and simply didnt convert.

No doubt KCP pushes his percentages up into the 40’s this upcoming season but it wont be on any more than three~ 3pta a game.

allianceofficer

13 | 13 hours ago

KCP does well offensively when he is beside good playmakers. The Magic that year were awful at playmaking.

Similarly Memphis had very little playmaking last year.

He’s going to a team where every starter is a better playmaker than the magics best playmaker in 2024-25.

3 seasons ago he won a championship as a starter? Are you slow? He can come off the bench now and contribute. Hes a vet with championship experience, these are the guys you need off the bench to win, not young guys who don’t know anything about winning.

Not only this but he shoots the 3 well and plays defense. It’s a no brainer.

_Wash | Timberwolves

2 | 13 hours ago

3 seasons ago he won a championship as a starter? Are you slow?

it’ll be 4 seasons ago.
it’s not 4 season ago anymore, are YOU slow?

Not only this but he shoots the 3 well and plays defense

do you even watch ball? He shot 34% from 3 in Orlando and 31% this past season. He does not shoot the 3 well anymore. He doesn’t defend well either anymore.

You would know this if you paid any attention at all and didn’t pretend like he’s the same player he was in 22-23

Bad team does not equal bad player. Brain, let’s use it.

_Wash | Timberwolves

2 | 13 hours ago

Being on mid teams doesn’t make you start to spontaneously suck or at shooting or lose the ability to move and defend laterally.

He was bad independent of the team, that’s why the Magic had to send extra picks out when they dumped his contract to the grizzlies

Brain, let’s use it.

Rook2Rook

Not every player is LeBron. 33 is quite old for a defensive minded guard. They rely a lot on their lateral movement and are ineffective when they lose a step.

Danny green was just fine at 33.

Rook2Rook

3 | 13 hours ago

It’s like you don’t watch basketball man. KCP’s defensive style is different than Danny Green. Danny Green was never as athletic. He was elite with his hands and positioning, one of the better shot blockers. KCP was one of the fastest players in the league and excelled in breaking up screens, rotating and ending transition opportunities with his speed

noneedforeathrowaway | Lakers

Love KCP. Not sure he’s even a 6th man on a championship roster at this point. Rondo and Dwight honestly traded off in the role depending on if the other team would play big or not.
