Despite what some people have been lead to believe, Kevin is not a ball dominating player. He does not need the ball to be effective. He made a name for himself by coming off cuts, screens, curls, and knocking down the open 3.
Last year, we had him be the focal point of the offense, but not necessarily dominating the ball. In fact, when given the ball in iso situations with the defense keyed in, he would sometimes be ineffective if he did not get to the line.
Can Kevin play w/Tyreke? Yes, easily. I envision draw and kicks, and a spread offense w/Martin on the wing. Tyreke is drawing a lot of attention. It is hard to double team a wing player, but some teams are looking to do that. To beat a double team, you need shooters, and Kmart is a very good one. He has no issue jacking up 3s, and his rate is good.
Will Kevin play defense? He will have to. This team is good enough, and clicking enough to shut him out if he does not. It is no longer Kevin's team. Kevin is the defacto second option, as we really lack another true "option" besides Tyreke, but he will have to play d. His rebounding numbers were up this year before the injury, and he looked as if he was trying more. The identity of this team has grown w/out Martin. I think he'll be able to adapt to it. He won't score 30 a night anymore, but I think we have a 40-45 pt backcourt (which would give us the highest scoring backcourt in today's game, save for perhaps Westbook/Harden, Jennings/Redd if he can return to form, and Curry/Ellis).
