It just occurred to me that if Kentavious Caldwell-Pope never becomes a star in this league (his ceiling doesn’t seem quite that high but who knows), then I’m looking at another ten years of making KCP highlights every time he scores more than 23 points in a contest. That’s a long time to make highlights…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 25 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2016)
I pretty much only make Kentavious Caldwell-Pope videos to keep Pistons fans from thinking I hate their team. It’s definitely not for my enjoyment and it’s definitely not for the enjoyment of the wider internet population. It’s just for Pistons fans and that’s it. In fact, I don’t think it’s even for Pistons fans because…

This is just the third game this season where Kentavious Caldwell-Pope shot above 50% from the field. If that sounds like I’m hating, maybe I am. Just a little bit. I’ve never really cared for shooting guards who shoot sub-40% from the field even if they play great defense and can hit the corner three…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has a really sweet-looking jumper. It doesn’t go in an extraordinarily large amount of the time, but it still looks absolutely perfect. Even his bricks have a certain aesthetic quality to them. See that above paragraph, Pistons fans? See that? That means I don’t hate KCP, and I don’t hate the Pistons or…

All I want…all I NEED is for the Pistons to take a game off the Cavs. Just one. The Pistons have been competitive in every game at least through the first half, so it’s not like they can’t play better than the Cavs for an extended period of time. If the Cavs lose a game…

Damn. I really wanted the Pistons to win this game, to show up the hastily-assembled big three of the Cavaliers with a sound display of team play reminiscent of the last Pistons championship team. They didn’t, though, and now we are left with yet another reminder that superstars triumph in almost all scenarios. Oh well….

I don’t get it. Why is Kentavious Caldwell-Pope second in the league in minutes per game? At the time of this writing he’s at 37.5, which is tied with James Harden; Jimmy Butler is the only dude who gets more time on the court. That amount of minutes should be reserved for players who are…

One of the many perils of highlight-compiling is that I only see the good of every player. From my point of view, the NBA, on average, is filled with dudes who never miss shots except when they get fouled and score 20 or more point per game. KCP is one of those dudes. I think…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope might be regressing a little bit. After his second season where he actually shot okay from three, he’s shooting below 30% five “long gun” attempts per game. The last guy who did that in Detroit got run out of town with a bunch of years still left on his contract. I’m not advocating…

In recognition of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scoring a career high 31, let’s take a look at how wrong I was back when I wrote a description for his then career-high of 30 back in his rookie season. “Let us take a moment and reflect on the dismal failure that was the Pistons’ season. Remember: this was…
