(he or Winder generally covered the quicker PGs in the league).

And of course a much better shooter.

And believe it or not — a better passer, too.

Most of KC's assists were weak dumps after he'd already broke the D (& the vast majority were against pathetic WCC defenses). KC was a super dominant athlete & player in the WCC, obviously — but he did NOT play to his strengths within our offense. And it's a big reason why outside the WCC we proved a paper Tiger.

There's NO WAY Pope in the present --& as the HC-- would let KC limit our team like Rose let him get away with.
