If we are just talking spacing, its almost certainly neither of these guys, right? What makes them so much more valuable are the other things they do. KAT can do a ton offensively. KP can do a lot of things offensively as well, plus offer the plus rim protection.
But guys like Bonner, Novak, Bertans offer you more from a pure spacing element. Lethal shooters, crazy fast releases, ability to stretch the floor out from deeper just like KP.
But yeah shame KP just can’t reliably stay healthy. A major what could have been. His skill set is just tailor made to be a modern big. I’m still a little frustrated Dallas gave up on him so easily. Would be nice to have the rim protecting/running of their current centers with the spacing Maxi is supposed to supply.
Great addition by the Celtics though they are so good they didn’t even really need him to win the title.
