KP puts up one less shot than AD per game. His usage rate is 1 less than AD. I really don't see his opportunities or lack thereof from Luka being an issue the numbers say he's a #2. He's also not a guard and guards dominate today's NBA. I want him to be more aggressive and assertive but if the argument is Luka selfishly takes the ball out of KP's hands that's just not supported by the stats. The only area Luka needs to work on with KP imo is end of game management. KP does tend to get ignored closing out games(team issue not a Luka only issue though imo) and Luka probably takes too many ill-advised step backs late in games when a better look is needed.
