really?

Personally...I think both Durant and Curry on a level on their own. Melo is a notch below, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Melo lover or Knick fan, I just think Melo has great shooting form.

I think would put him on par with Melo. He does have a nice shot, especially for a 7ft

He really has a lot more of a rhythm on the J than he had at the start of the season.

He has always been seen as a very good shooting big man, and if the body is willing, and the mind is confident, he is going to hit his shots.

Cool as ice hitting the two foul shots after hurting his hand (left...I know, but the pain can have an impact on your shooting even in the off hand). There will be no push a porzingis strategy to get him to the line.

Can't say I know all the jump shooters in the league, but I expect that there are a lot of good strokes around the league today. Can't forget Klay T, by the way.


I can say this though...he his the purest 7'3" shooter to ever play in the NBA up until now. Any of you want to dispute this?

klay is sweet

KP is a much better shooter then I think people see. To me, its crazy how pure his shot is. You can see it on his FT's.

Need a body of work meaning years in the league, before you can be in the same conversation as Curry and Durant.

That said, the rotation and arc on KP's jump shots are a thing of beauty.

Durant and Curry are in a league of their own. KP's stroke, not the outcome is what I can't get over.

Was really surprised with Smith's reaction to KP getting drafted, usually if he doesnt like a player its performance based. This was the first time I thought it was just uninformed hating. I know others feel he does it more often.

I agree KP's stroke is in a league of its own. We've never in the history of the NBA see a 7'3 pure shooter...ever

His two nothing but net mid range contested jumpers looked like a 7'3 Allen Houston mid range contested j.. And I've always thought H20 had one of the sweetest jumpers in NBA history

SAS and that bratty kid at the draft should have to watch Porzingis highlight clips all day! Together!

This is why I try to stay away from making absolute declarations like Smith on this forum, or doing things like the father and his kid did.

None of us really know how 19 and 20 year old kids are going to develop.

The internet and social media make it impossible to escape from being ridiculed if you do or say something idiotic.
