He always needs to focus on d+ r first while getting looks within 3 feet. Get his feet wet in game and then round out with some deeper shots if clean

FOr a while he was taking the first shot of the game.

In the games I have seen he is involved and then he is not. Im sure the massive attention he has gotten and early success might have somethings to do with it, as are teams studying his tendencies and weakness'. At the same time, I also see this team adding more set's and perhaps this is stagnating his and the teams progress.

But its something that has to be done and walls have to hit, felt and then worked thru. When we say "Patience" this could be what as fans we just have to see thru. For the team to do any less will ultimately inhibit its progress.

There should be practice days where all he does is use the glass. Don't need as much of a touch.

Continues to surprise me how few bigs use the glass other than for layups. KP might want to look at some Bill Walton clips.

There is a reason the Knicks overly rely upon Rolo in the post these days instead of using KP there, he is ineffective. He'll have his moments, but there was a very good example of how much KP has to learn about being a post player and either getting his own, passing out to a cutting player or just making the right play that leads to something: he and Melo were playing 2-man ball with KP in the post and Melo feeding the ball and it was like a 10+ second wasted postup. Not that this is the end-all for him but it sure was telling to me as to how much KP gotta learn about being the post player the Knicks will need him to be.

Three seconds or less (TSOL)to do something or pass out.

Hope he hooks up with a good big man in the off season to work on this aspect of his game. Vonleh looked so tiny next to him yesterday...a shame that we could not exploit the mismatch.
