Porzingis thread #4: The KP era is upon us

[nykfan42]

He is still scoring but his shooting has been really bad. I think part of it is shot selection, some of his shots seem rushed and out of control. That could be because he has to pick up the slack with Hardaway out. There is really no other somewhat consistent scoring threat besides maybe Kanter but I think better Guard play will help him get better shots.

When you realize KP has been playing as Melo recently:

We said this already

Really? Because it surprised the hell outta me.

BUT, he isn't. Picking up Timmy's slack would mean KP playing above his average which he is NOT.

[Deeeez Knicks]

We can say this about almost every player, but we get too high on his high, and too low on his low.

Its a common thing where young players go thru ups and downs.

Hes been terrible shooting lately. Like really bad. A lot of it is coaching but a lot has to do with Kp's shot selection. again coaching not putting him in position to succeed enough.

I really meant forcing the issue with Hardaway out. Defenses are just focusing on him because no one else is a real threat consistently.

some of that is on him. If you look at the 2WEEKS of the season and WHERE he was taking his shot, too me, that's not on the coach. There weren't as many long jumpers, he wasn't shooting off balance, he was taking FULL advantage of the smalls on him.

His body language has been poor too. He needs to develop the cold face that shows Nathan. Don't make your frustration obvious cause it tells opponents that they are getting in your head.

oh, yeah, totally agree with that. Lee was balling early in the season but, he's fallen off too.

Only because Lee isn't a playmaker with the ball. He's better at catch and shoot and spot ups. Jack isn't that good anymore, Ntilikina needs about another year, and Sessions is trash.

wow, I though I was being critical but, you guys are GOING IN on KP. This gif had me laughing for real.

[Oscirus]

Other then the nights in which KP gives up when elite teams shut him down, I really have no problem with him.
That being said, Green is going to make KP his bitch and it's going to be painful to watch
