KP is fun to bag on him, he's probably not as bad as I like to say, but I really haven't regretted the Knicks trading him since it happened.  His rim protection stats are real interesting.

In his last year in NY, 2018, he was 2nd in the league in FG% allowed on shots 6 feet and in.  The year before, he was 10th.  As a rookie, he was 9th.  Pretty damn elite, really.

Then his first year in Dallas, 12th.  Still, really good.  This season, of the 93 players who defended at least 200 shots (the random qualifier I used) he was 44th.

He doesnt rebound.  He doesnt pass.  (the 1.8 assists per game he had last year is a career high).  If you can protect the rim at a high level (like prior to this year) and spread the floor with the 3, even with the lack of the other stuff, he can still be a good contributor (though maybe not at 30 million per year though).  I don't really know what to make of the rim numbers this year.  Maybe its a total fluke, or maybe the injuries have started to take their toll?
