Is KP the most injury-prone in the NBA? Certainly not.

Are KP's injuries totally concerning? Absolutely.

Some players are good enough that even though the injuries are disruptive, when they return from injury, they absolutely change the game.

When Embiid is healthy, the 76ers are NET +10.8pts per 48.
When Kawhi is health, the Clippers are +12.8pts per 48 (last year stats used for obvious reasons)
When Zion was healthy, the Pelicans are +7.7pts (last year's stats)

When KP was healthy, the Mavs were -3.8pts per 48 minutes.

That's not a player that's so good that you accept their limitations and just enjoy the boost they give you when healthy. That's also not the kind of impact you want from a max-level player.

Anyway, Bertans seems like a very limited (and overpaid) role player who is at best Peja/Walt Williams, but SD has finally filled that third ballhandler spot that we've been begging for. If we can get a decent PF/C this offseason (draft or trade) then this team could be VERY good.
