This is a really difficult way to try to build a team. You would think that the Knicks would know that by now considering this is the way they've been doing things for almost twenty years. When you overpay for volume scoring you have to get everything else cheap and Jason Kidd and Tyson Chandler are not walking through that door.

RutgersJetFan Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 So the story today is that before he promoted Mills, Dolan reached out to Jerry West. I am shocked, shocked that West passed. Shocked I tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still cautious optimism that Porzingis gets better in another area and his efficiency ticks up a tad. His brother is a total jackass and the entire thing is still trending poorly from a perception/reality standpoint on both sides. Not sure what the league's perception is though which will be the million dollar question come contract time. Hardaway was an absurd move. If Frank turns into a starting PG and the Quinn/Kanter/WHG trio produces the Knicks will trend upwards. They also have to keep their effing picks.

When you overpay for volume scoring you have to get everything else cheap and Jason Kidd and Tyson Chandler are not walking through that door. With respect to Porzingis, your post is utter drivel. KP is one of the most efficient scorers in the NBA and an excellent rim protector. KP taking a lot of shots is a good thing if he is above average in percentages for the shots taken. Thus, his high efficiency rating. To claim that he is a "volume scorer" and does nothing else is a completely divorced from reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If NBA executives, coaches, scouts and players as well as the fans are all-in on the KP "hype", maybe it's your perception that is skewed. Also, he isn't 6'8" and he's more efficient than Melo, so your statement makes no sense. What if Giannis was 6'5"? He'd be Kerry Kittles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fear is people over hyping a guy who's very tall and looks smooth when he takes jumpers. The extra credit Porzingis is being given simply for being tall just doesnt click. Is he impacting wins? I dont know. The Knicks havent been winning since he's been here. We do know volume shooting doesn't really have much value though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to read them. Look at twitter and follow the reporters or even NBA people as well in what they say. KP's PER is in the mid 20s, he has a positive net rating and the team has a negative net rating without him. The benefit of his height is him being able to just shoot over defenders and exploit mismatches, which he is doing. Again, to disparage him as a "volume shooter" is nonsense. He isn't. A volume shooter is an inefficient scorer who gets points only through putting up a lot of shots. KP, on the otherhand, is one of the most efficient scorers in the game.

RutgersJetFan Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I've advocated for trading him this year, but KOQ is the clear leader in the huddle right now. If the Knicks are going to be anywhere near .500 it would be unconscionable to move him barring a great offer. Next few games are interesting considering the competition; Indiana, Charlotte, and Orlando. If the Knicks are going to compete for one of the bottom rung East slots this will be a nice early little gage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love his game he’s a throwback Knicks are 4-4 the experts had us as the worst team in the nba this season by far I think we have a shot at the 8th seed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porzingis has been beastly 4 out of the past 5 and the defense hasn’t been as awful as expected, that’s pretty much why. 8 games is still too early, 2-3 more weeks and we will have a better idea of what we are working with. No excuses for KP not coming out like that against Indiana. Houston? Fine. They are a way better team than the Knicks. But Indiana’s best player is Oladipo so there is no excuse for him to have a .300 stinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
