Hmm, I wonder who that is.

MUDIAY for Rookie of the Year, MVP, Hall of fame.

God, why'd we pass on the Congo warrior.... 5.3 assists to 6.3 turnovers a game. You can't draft point guards with that assist to turnover ratio, they don't grow on trees.

mudiay needs to come off the bench. I would start whats his name - the fat kid nelson.

He just needs to show he can stay healthy. If he can do that I fully believe we have a cornerstone player. I like him at the 4 with big guys like Rolo at the 5. He looks great there, and has the mobility.

that is my only worry and its a big worry. if he can remain healthy, I think that he will not only be a really good offensive player but he can actually win multiple defensive player of the year awards (crazy I know)

KP,Rolo
O'quinn,d'will
Melo,LT or early
AA,Jose
Grant,Galloway

Point is, I think sooner rather then later KP should be anchoring the middle ... And Rolo has been very underwhelming in the starting unit ... I'd rather see the starting pg pass it in to O'quinn then Lopez. O'quinn has better passing ability out of the post, I like O'quinns offensive game better and he's a rebounding beast.

I like him at the 5, which is his future position. I didn't see the game, but it appears he usually does well against slower PF....Its the fast guys that get him in trouble, when teams play their SF as a PF. The spurs have a traditional lineup, which matches up well with our PF and Center twin towers.

He just needs confidence. Having KP at the 4 creates a wall at the basket. KP has the length to get beat, chase guys and block shots from behind. Not ideal but beating him off the dribble isnt a gimme bucket. Not even close.

He's very thin, I know Garnett played some center, but PF gives him more freedom. Ultimately his position should be determined by his strengths. Right now PF makes some sense, spares him some contact and gets him in the SL. So far so good.

Lopez is a much defender than Koq. Much.

Wow KP has impressed .. With his kinda potential he's right up there with Karl Anthony towns.. Prob a higher ceiling then K.A.T with more strength KP will be better defender! Sky is the limit for this kid!

TheGame wrote:KP likely will not win ROY. But in three years, if he stays healthy, he is going to be the best player in this draft (or at worst second best to Karl Towns). The kid plays defense like a young KG, with Mutombo like effect on the defensive end. By year three, his outside shooting will be automatic, and no one is going to be able to effect his jumpshot given his height. Plus, he will also develop a post game. This kid is a cross between Dirk and KG, only taller than both. He is going to be a once in a decade type player who should grow to average about 25 pts, 10 rebounds, 3 ast, 1 steal, and 2.5 blocks a game, which would be All-star numbers.

I agree he's a mix of kg and dirk on the offense defensively I see a faster deke. I could see 25pts12rebs3plus blocks per which would mean in 2 to three years a top 5 player in this league...

Let him stay aggressive and dirty on defense so the refs let him play like k Lenord and KP will be unstoppable
