The biggest thing is he's right between the ears. I really give Phil credit, whether it was luck or planning we bit the bullet, threw a year away and drafted a cornerstone player as a result. We just need to keep building up the pipeline. Grant's development is the key to the next step. KP's development almost seems like a forgone conclussion at this point, its just a matter of how fast and what his ideal role/position is.

Another big difference from KG, is KP doesn't make statement blocks and waste time preening. Watched the clip of the 16 blocks in 4 games over and over again. He practically catches the shots, or he blocks them to a teammate. I can't see KP growing into a defensive version of Dirk. He's going to be way too valuable in the paint. I think this will be a problem going forward the next few seasons with Rolo on the squad, because KP should be guarding the Okafors of the world, once the rookie shine wears off.
Man, life is good, when these are the problems we have!
