Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (DET) – “KCP”

Profile:
Shooting Guard: 6’5, 205 lbs; 5th year, Georgia
NBA Role: two-way wing • Star UnderDOG
Give it up for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope! – DET’s talented, two-way shooting guard of the future; major part of DET’s progression – KCP must his overall efficiency; average three-point shooter – KCP could learn a thing or two by studying (Pistons legend) Rip Hamilton’s movement off the ball, there’s a ton of screen setters in DET*; very good perimeter defender – consistently shuts down some of league’s marquee talent; if KCP learns to run the PnR, he’d be in a league of his own – not many 6’5 twos can run PnR effectively, there’s a ton of different, hybrid bigs (Tobias Harris, Marcus Morris, Jon Leuer?) KCP can play off; very quick in the open floor**– is he eventually the third leg of Detroit’s Big 3 alongside Andre Drummond & Reggie Jackson?
*Big Aron Baynes, Drummond, M. Morris
**KCP’s a one-handed, tomahawk dunker
