This is where I will defend KP. Rick has tried to use him as a max contract 3&D player since we traded for him. The excuse early on was that KP was coming back from injury, so he needed time to adjust. Fine, but that excuse ran dry by the time the Clippers series came around. KP never looked comfortable in the system, and he wasn't the only one.
And yes, KP's effort in the playoffs was inexcusable.
Another tidbit though is that they tried to do the same thing with DSJ once Luka arrived. Is the FO just obsessed with making everyone who isn't Luka a 3&D player?
