These are the biggest questions I want to see KP answer:
1) Can he handle being the focal point of the offence? Now he won't be getting open looks as Rose & Melo draw all of the Defensive attention.
2) Can he guard opposing 4's? This will be the chance for him to prove it, or he MUST move over to the 5 spot
3) Can he mature and grow into a leader?

Now is your chance to show us. I hope you can.

Did I miss anything aggregating the various negative opinions?

Imagine if everyone here hated him.


You should have added that he's too Latvian (meaning he's going to Latvia for summer, doing nothing/filming too many workout videos there and playing for his national team, thus risking injuries and getting punked by Randolph there).

Is there a Latvian Devil? Any chance he already got KP?

KP is going to have a monster season playing with actual point guards this year not sg in PG body with tunnel vision, I expect something like 24-9-3 and being an all star. This kid is a freak and it's going to show this year, that being said, #TankForPorter then we can start the winning

Frank
Hardaway Jr
Porter
KP
Willy

We aren't to far off.....

Everyone keeps saying start him at the 5.

The numbers and his playing style are much more aligned with the SF spot honestly.

Especially on the defensive side of the ball. Can't wait to see him guarding Lebron.
