KP can dunk, make layups/floaters, hooks, elite finisher run the floor in transition and iso in the post too.

"complete game" doesn't mean much. Blake Griffin has a more complete game than Prime Dirk did. Prime Dirk is obviously the better offensive player though.

Blake doesn't have a more complete offensive game than Dirk...his scoring reporoire is no where near Nowitzki's. Blake vs Dirk and KP vs KAT offensively is nothing close to the same argument.

I don't want to turn this inot a Blake vs Dirk discussion. You're missing the point. Maybe LeBron vs Melo would have been a better comparison.

Having a "complete game" doesn't necessarily mean anything. Fact of the matter is that Porzingis is the better offensive player. Towns doesn't get extra points for possibly putting the ball through the basket in a bigger variety of ways.

Spot on...

You can go to the TWolves board yourself and fans there are complaining about his defense...

So he can emulate PorzinGOD really well, at least we can agree on who is the better shooter, dunker and defender, your lasts two posts nearly gave me aids I think I gotta avoid this thread

Read on Twitter

Idgaf if u want to avoid this thread, if u don't like my opinion then move along


Yeah only a blind person wont see the offensive arsenal of PorzinGOD and label him as jump shot reliant 8-)




I'm starting to think u didn't read what I wrote...

I said that he's too reliant on jumpers, not that he doesn't do anything but shoot jump shots...2 videos of him going coast-to-coast in transition doesn't disprove that.

I believe later in his career he will be feasting in the post as well, once he gets a stronger base and is more comfortable down there

Yeah you should read that you wrote, you said he is useless offensively if his jumper isnt falling

Then tell me why he has more dunks, and goes to the line more than KAT if he is too reliant on jumpers and KAT is well more rounded?

KP is still too reliant on jumpers right now. The next step for him is to start getting to the free throw line more and to develop a hook shot or some other type of reliable post move in the paint.

That wouldn't be fair for the league. I think KD would sign with us next if the Unicorn perfects a hook shot along with a wide array of post moves.

kp.. elite defense? umm what


If he weren't forced to play out of position on the wing all the time, you'd notice his defense pickin
