KP tried a couple of times for some put backs but the ball didn't bounce high enough and eneded up kinda pinning it to the board or bottom of the rim. It ended being an offensive rebound and putback the conventional way.

KP spacing dude now and doesn't crash boards or just no opportunity?
He had a put-back the other night off a Noah-miss. He has had some, they just aren't getting the same attention, because he has been doing so much more. He also had the put-back off of his own miss, where he missed the 3, grabbed the rebound, missed the floater, and dunked off of that miss.

Ive seen KP around the rim for the putbacks... they just havent gone his way. That being said I would like him more aggressive following Rose to the basket. Garbage picking is great around those parts.

Yeah KP is still following up shots at the rim but either the shots fall or many have not bounced his way. I expect he'll have a few this season based on what i've seen. What has really amazed me is how improved his handles are this year. He's getting better at crossing guys up with his dribble.

I fear the Unicorn's reckless putbacks would result in a bad landing and more foul's. I love the putback, my favorite shot, but also understand the risks associated with it. Also, whats not on the highlight reels are the offensive fouls or god forbid nauseating knee landing or less nauseating ankle sprain/roll.
