He is currently averaging 20/6/2 with 1.3 blocks on 11 FGA per game with shooting splits of 56/40/83. Among players with more than 75 field goals attempted, which is currently the top 137 players in the NBA, he is currently leading the league with a 69% TS. Not to mention, both him and the Jays along with Jrue have great chemistry and they have been abusing smaller defenders on the post through mismatch or KP would find JB through a back door cut or when he is double teamed, he would find the right pass for a wide open 3. His passing has been impressive even tho he doesn’t generate a lot of assists.

I’m so happy for him. I wish he could have stayed healthy when he played for us. Luka and KP just didn’t have enough consistent time together to build chemistry. There was flashes but it’s hard when they didn’t even play a full single season together.
KP on a team where he’s not relied on to be the superstar or even the second best player on any given night is the best situation for him and dangerous for the league. When your defense gameplans for KP then he can be limited. When your defense has to gameplan for Tatum / Brown then KP is going to be a major problem. He’ll torch the 3rd best defender and get perfect mismatches and will produce at a super efficient rate.
What a great situation for him. Please basketball gods keep this man healthy it’s a better league with him playing in it.

He’s 7th in the league,not 1st. Impressive for sure, but the title is totally wrong. In fact he isn’t even 1st on his own team.
He needs to rebound better though. I’m watching him on the Celtics and he’s terrible on the boards.
He is shooting 67% from 2PA, up from his 50% career average.
Being a roller with the Jays or just posting up mismatches has made him an assassin.
