I hope not. We had plenty of thug basketball in the 90's!
They been trying to bang him up. KP just goes over the top of them. Teams want to play small ball too so that fits right into our hands

KP has very fast feet, great footwork, and balance for someone his size. Dont believe it will be Bargs all over again. While it wont keep him from getting hurt entirely, it should help KP avoid some awkward falls. He isnt afraid to dive for a ball, Porzingis knows how to fall and slide on a court like a smaller player. Like I said, it wont prevent all injuries, but it should help IMO.

He knows how to fall, sometimes hitting the deck is unavoidable when you're going for a loose ball, and knowing how to fall is very important. Bargs would be in ICU right now if he tried to play the way KP does.

that I agree with. Last season he was flying around like a rag doll. He sure had lots of falling experience
