KB is a good defender. PP thinks he is the third toughest swingman he has 
faced.
In the NBA, if a top scorer gets hot he isnt going to be stopped. For example 
PP burned Ron Artest on a number of occasions. But a good defender can turn 
an average game into a bad one. He can take people out of their rythym. I 
have seen KB do that. Plus he will hustle to grab a pass and make a steal.

I disagree with those who claim OB is two-faced though. He wants his people 
to play defense, but I don't think he vowed to play his best defenders. I 
think Grant defends better then Walker, and Strickland defended better then 
KA for example..and still the offensive players got the PT.

OB has publically stated that KB isn't getting PT because of his troubles 
with his shooting. He hasn't hit the threes like he was projected too..and 
his entire stroke seems to be off. For a swingman this is a bad thing 
especially in the Celtics catch and shoot the three offense, hence no PT.  He 
has the other NBA skills...he just needs a jump shot.
