i'm ok with that. i think kinda all saw that coming. he needs to get playing time and experience. i think hell learn by making mistakes but hell learn. a couple things i want to see are:
- learning how to attack closeouts...just cant be a 7ft spot up shooter - improved defensive awareness - better stamina - improved strength
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

oops... just posted similar, but yea. I like this. Surround him with vets, give him a simple role, shoot it when your open and be aggressive on defense. I love this actually. All those guys want him to succeed and if we can get this to work we start the games with so much length up front.

Good news. KP is 19, but he's been a pro player for a few years now. I won't make any predictions, but I do believe Porzingis is mature enough to start from day one. Im looking forward to seeing a relatively stable lineup which I believe will allow him to progress more rapidly.

On a video game, starting KP, with Rolo and Melo makes since. Hopefully KP and Rolo can bring that twin tower rim protection on defense. On offense, it will be interesting to see how KP produces.....Will he be just a Steve Novak type, with a mid range jumper? Or will he be more involved, due to the movement of the triangle offense. Watching him develop makes this an interesting season.

winning games during that will be even MORE interesting, and I think we are in a nice position to develop two very promising rookies, throw Gallo in there and thats 3 prospects in the rotation, AND I think we can win games and be a +500 team.
Also a certain poop eating Raptor's fan will owe me $100 if we win 45 games

No longer a teenager...turned 20 on 8/2/15.
Still young at heart, though.

Depends. If he's north of the border or south, anything goes!
