KCP will serve a two-game suspension to open the regular season stemming from a
DUI arrest last March, but he did manage to finish the exhibition slate on a
positive note. The 24-year-old guard established preseason highs in rebounds,
assists and steals while generating a 50.0 percent success rate from the field
for the second straight contest. Once he returns to the starting lineup on Oct.
22 against the Pelicans, Caldwell-Pope should serve as a key source of scoring
and three-pointers while sharing the backcourt with the dynamic Lonzo Ball
(ankle) and attempting to parlay his one-year, $18 million contract into a
long-term deal.
