KP 26-12-7. Not since Ewing has anyone hung that. KP is 21 years old.
He is doing great. Has superstar games, but can't quite label him there as his scoring avg is 20 pts per, Rebounds at 7.7 per. His blocks has him 8th in the league. He is 30th in scoring and Blocks.
Most important, KP has had some rough games and we winning!!!! Same for Melo. We won in Sac without Rose. Thats a good thing.
Good Post. Also Rose has gotten better as the season has gone on and even after missing a few games he looked like he didn't miss a beat
Its all good and fun discussion. Actually OP had no idea, as did anyone his knee was bothersome and that has to freak the young man out from time to time.
KP has far exceeded most expectations but mostly him being able to play as much as he has and thus far remaining healthy.
Im ok with his rebounding totals as he is I think deliberately kept from playing in the interior for the bulk of his time. He is mobile and with is improved handle is able to do things this year he could not last year. At 21 his body is really not ready to bang it out nightly. There will be games he gets lost.
I used to think Jennings does not see him but I also might guess KP is sometimes open in transition but will get swarmed by defenders before he can get his footwork settled. That is important for two reasons:
1. prone to turnovers if not planted.
2. Injury prone movements.
KP does is athletic enough to get the ball but it can get him in trouble. When he gets the ball and his footwork is right he is more in control. I watch him off the ball a lot. I like the way the knicks are handling this kid.
