That's because KP demands the ball. And it will be less ball moments since there are more mouths to feed..

Nice block by Korny on Josh Fart !


And back to back baskets.


We shouldn't take Kornet for granted (not saying you do mate)

An offensively gifted back up centre are rare as Hen's teeth, Knicks have been exposed since KAT's injury and forced to improvise with Precious as back up.

He is on a very team friendly contract too (could have made a lot more elsewhere)

He is an underrated gem for us !

Yup! He becomes too much of a focal point. He needs to be brought on in spurts when things get stagnant.

Put respect on Kornet’s name. We’ve somehow played better with him and Al than KP single big lineups.

Still need to find a way to see guys like Tatum and white be more aggressive with KP in the lineup.


That’s more on mazzulla not balancing the offense better. JB and KP are black holes on offense for the most part. They don’t process the game like Tatum and White. It’s obvious.
