Also, please stop hyping KP's skill set as rare. It's not. Like not even a little. Most bigs shoot threes in today's NBA and most dudes over 7ft tall can block a shot. It's not rare to see.
wait so its not rare to see someone block 2 shots a game and make 2 3's a game in the NBA?
He's a big that can shoot and block shots.
That's not a rare skill set. You keep posting a stat though, even though dude has really no offensive go to moves and has poor positional defense.
I spoke on his skill set shown RIGHT NOW. Not stats.
Chriss is throwing up similar numbers in PHX right now too. Ask me if I care.
You have to account for some projection for KP, like any team trading for him or trading him away would as well.
As I posted before, even with that projection, IF getting the pick meant being able to go back to back at 1,2 or 2,3 in this draft, I'd really consider it, especially with another pick the following year that will be top 10 and honestly the Knicks would probably be top 12 at least as well.
Young dynamic guards\wings seems easier to get competitive around by filling in with solid if not spectacular vets at the PF\C rotation, plus the Knicks would still have a young, promising C in WHG and Melo to play at his natural position at PF, unless he is also dealt for a pick, which ensures an even worse Knicks record and ANOTHER pick, though probably late 1st as Melo would be traded to a contender.
