Detroit Pistons’ shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been given the nightly task that not many can handle–guard the opposing team’s best scorer.
But how successful has he been in these tough matchups against Damian Lillard, Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook, and Dwyane Wade?
With the exception of Damian Lillard, Caldwell-Pope has held opposing team’s top scorers under their season averages in shooting percentage and points per game. He’s forced all of the aforementioned to commit more turnovers than their season average.
| Season Average | Points | Assists | Shooting % | Turnovers |
