this season will his teammates lower their usage rates to let this kid be all he can be? will the coach drive this agenda?

Personally I feel KP should focus on being KG dominant on the defensive end. That is something that will work with what we have today as well as help his development. I also feel he should be featured in a package with the 2nd unit.

Noah,KP,Melo,Lee,Rose will start. I think KP and Lee should both sub out early for Holiday and the winner of the backup PF spot say Ndour. Then KP,Lee,Jennings,Thomas and Willie or KOQ should be a packaged together featuring KP and ensures that the bench stays strong. Of course mins will be distributed for KP and Lee to get all the crunch time mins with the other starters.

Noah has racked up 26, 23, 24 ast % with 19, 14, 13 % usage over the last 3 yrs. KP just needs to make the right basketball plays and the ast will be there. May be easier to get them as well if the defense is being broken down and scrambling due to penetration.

+1 i like kp6 getting minutes with the second unit because he will get more touches at the elbows. also since jennings is a leftie there will be more p&r on the left side with kp6.

not sure about Rose but KP and melo seemed set for big years

Rose is such a wild card. Hopefully though he benefits from a full offseason of working out as opposed to rehabbing.

that would be good. However with so many of those type of injuries last a whole season is a tall task

That is why they were able to trade for him. Hopefully being another year removed from knee injuries helps.

Rose has never averaged less than 15.9 points per game and 4.3 assists per game even after several season ending injuries. So you can be sure he's going to average close to that. Kill the heart broken teenager routine.

I can't WAIT for these doubters to see Rose in action up close and have to realize how much better he is than they give him credit for. He's been on the increase in terms of games played. He's getting healthier and not weaker. There are no guarantees in terms of health in pro sports. Everyone is a play away. That's why I don't focus on that.

I believe Rose, Melo and KP stand a very good chance of making the All Star team. They can help elevate each other.

nix its not about being proven right its about the knicks winning...thats the most important thing. Once again i dont doubt roses basketball ability(ive followed him since simeon). My only concern is his ability to stay healthy and i think its a very fair question

That's why I stated Rose has been getting stronger. He's played more games each season since his surgery. What they want is to have Rose healthy for the post season. It's going to be very interesting to see how they handle Rose, Noah, Melo and Jennings.

Yeah they need to be monitored to keep them fresh. I'm not too worried about Jennings since he is coming off the bench

Hes playing basketball. He's had physical injuries. He's not a heart attack risk. 30 minutes a game is starters minutes. That's what he should get. Jennings will get all of the backup Poitier guard minutes plus he will play with Rose at times. Bowchikawahwah
