Do you think our offensive scheme would allow him to play the same type of game he use accustomed to? One game does not erase his many mediocre games. Not to mention the Twolves were not very good, dor many years, with him as PG.
As for stunning KP, jamming the Triangle down his throat and not improving his inside play is a bigger concern.
The Triangle actually demands more Post ups for KP! That's why it's called the Triple Post Offense!
KP will in time learn how to post and pass out of the post. The Triangle is not a hindrance to Bigs. It's one of the few offenses designed for two Post players to coexist. One post on the Side Triangle and another in the Pinch Post.
Wow. I know I haven't been at every home game this year but when exactly has KP been in post position on a consistent basis? So he doesn't hover at 3pt. line much?
How I can't wait till 2019 when Phil is gone and we will be talking about it like the old dinosaur it is. Problem is, KP would have wasted 4 years learning a system he will never use again.
The Knicks only recently have started using more Triangle. In fact they still haven't even reached 50% Triangle usage. There was a stretch where they lowered the amount of Triangle and went with more 4 Out Spread PnR!! So that's a big part of why you haven't seen more KP Post ups.
If they ran Pure Triangle then you'd see a lot more KP Post ups. I doubt they'll go back to a Pure Triangle at this point. It's probably always going to be a mix under Hornacek.
