I don't think its ridiculous to expect a fourth pick to contribute, especially when you are looking at a team that last year produced only 17 wins. I think its reasonable to expect him to play at least 20 minutes a game - otherwise, he's not being developed or is maybe not that good. Do we get 8 pts? 10? 12? 6 rebs? 3 Ast? I don't think 8pts, 6 rebs & 2 ast is unreasonable, is it? |

I don't think kp has the feel for the game like Kaminsky yet I think using him with his dominating length and size inside on BOTH ends where he shots 10 feet and in. We've got a good pg who will be able to set him up We run the triangle Briggs our positions and our offense are defined. We may feature some pick and pop with Kristaps but the bulk of what we do will be right out of the normal triangle sets Phil has been running for ages. Kristaps will get the ball in the deep post, mid-post, elbow and the wing off of weak side pick and roll action. Don't need some special **** just run the offense and let his natural skill/talent flush out. |

Our 21 Million player gets us 24 points 6.5 rebs and 3 assists, so yes it's completely unfair to expect a third of that production in PPG and the exact same production elsewhere from a guy making less than a fifth of his salary.

![]() Not sure he is a back to the basket big man at this point in his career. You figure they will give him some shots down low, but I would think they would do some of the pick and pops Calderon had success with paired with J.Smith.
Porzingis was a stretch 4 in Europe. Does not seem like a position we really utilize much in the Triangle. Might see some more pick and rolls with him, too. He can actually cut to the basket well... O'Quinn might hook him up with some of those high post passes of his. Jackson and Fisher will put him into a position where he can utilize his ability- what that is...I don't know.
EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

We've got a good pg who will be able to set him up Unless knicks aren't confirming summer play on KP injury, reckon summer league play is MOST time anyone will see #4th pick However in NBA level play when a player such as KP is a project & we're talking post play KP is going I don't know how many minutes or any play will justify being in gym bulking up Obvisious his skill is all offensive touted, KP is said to be a poor defender And also not good rebounder which will inhibit chances on floor playing time to develop. Just going by the nba experts and folks whom seen him play at competitive europe play This is NBA and I am sure he'll learn but I do not see him being too much of a contributor factor at all until his Turntable Musiclover & Mix-Master-ologist

Still it doesn't mean he's gonna be at risk of injury playing a similar role to that of Jason Smith and Bargs last year. KP was already playing against men in a pro league. He's already experienced some banging with bigger players. The NBA will be a step above that, but not so dissimilar from what he experienced in the ACB. He's learned a little bit of how to play and not get too caught up fighting with bigger players but rather to work in the post by facing up rather than staying back to basket. He doesn't have an advantage against heavier players with his back turned but when he gets the ball and faces up he's the one with the advantage. He's got some things to learn, but I think he can do it based on his ACB performance. |
