KP, you need to show that you can at least post up IT (Celtics) or this is all hogwash

KP just dropped 275 lbs of dead weight he is going to be explosive as all hell.


hiyooooooo
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

It is no the actual weigh one puts on scales but the intensity. KP should be fine

I am also interested in what Serbs gonna do. They have Jokic and Marjanovic. Imagine Jokic at PF and Marjanovic at C, bigball lineup.


I'am afraid if we go with Davis at SF, Porzingis at PF and Andzejs at C.. it will be too big of a line-up. :D

But dunno, Davis might be pretty Okay at SF. He is quick.


Imagine them + Giannis at PG or SG :D How tall that lineup would be. :D

Instead, maybe he's training with Dirk, boxing and well, at least the Latvian team should help him some.

It's better for him to play in actual games as the man.

Not that it's a bad thing but we'll all be disappointed yet again when KP comes back and plays again like the world's biggest SF.

I've seen this movie before with Jamal Crawford. There is the summer pic of them looking "jacked" (Good lighting, just pumped up, maybe gained a few pounds) and by the time of training camp - same guy. Some guys can't put on the muscle that easily. KP seems like one of them. Considering his 7'3", probably makes sense.

Yep. KP could very well be an ectomorph.
