Yes I do. Melo is a good rebounder, KP needs a bit of work. It's true it must be a team effort but Rose is a good rebounder for his position. On the defense end, Melo won't be as much a liability as at the 3 spot. KP won't have to run all over the court to follow his guy. It also means we can put better defender at the 2 and 3.

Knicks are a good rebounding team, one of the best in the league in fact. We will still be above average regardless. As for defense, we are already a terrible defensive team, but moving KP to the 5 and Melo to the 4 will improve the defense because you are no longer playing guys out of position on defense.
