The rest of the guys you can't trust to save your life. Luka passing them the ball doesn't do any good if they aren't hitting their shots. Pretty much all of the B squad gets colder than the arctic at any given time, and I'm not sure what fix there is other than getting better teammates.

KP was god awful.
1) If he gets it at the three-point line, he just shoots it. He's okay at open jumpers but he isn't a sharpshooter. 37.6% in the regular season and 29.6% in the playoffs.
2) If he gets it in the mid/low post, he gets stripped, blocked, or puts up a low % shot. He gets stripped on drives more than any player in the NBA and he doesn't use his height for anything but clearance on jumpers, which again, he's not efficient at. His eFG% on jumpers is mediocre
3) He's decent on oops, but again, doesn't move well without the ball like Powell and often turns it over trying to catch oops.
The dude either puts up a low-percentage jumper or he turns it over. I don't blame Luka one bit for not getting it to him.
