If KP plays 30 mins at C -- that only leaves 18 per game for Willy --- regardless of how many other ideas you come up with. Also consider in your math --- does this mean ZERO minutes for both Noah/KOQ who are both pure 5's in my book. |

I honestly will be disappointed if KP dose not start at the 5 from day one of the season. Willy should be groomed as our starting 4 he has the size of LMA we should groom him as our starting 4 of the future that's where I see his future with this team |

Man!, that boy is TALL!!!!!
Man!, that boy is tall and fluid!!! I don't know where I want this kid on the floor, I don't really care what position he plays. I'd say let Noah and Willy guard the opposing 5 and bang it out with their bigs. If they have a jokic type, and there some, then let him guard them. No need letting him guard Dwight or Drummand. |

I think Brigg's point is they both play 30-32, split the minutes at the 5 say 30/18 as he suggested and the other 12 minutes they play together KP is at the 4.BRIGGS wrote:I like KP at 5 Now you are right about Noah and KOQ, but I see Briggs point as more future. I dont know what KOQ's future with the team is. I like a lot about him. I dont see the point in resigning him with Willy and KP here as the long term building blocks. All signs point to a trade but I also know they love him as a lockerroom guy. Noah also has something left in the tank and his loss was a big part of the tailspin last year. Even KP was vocal about that. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

My point is -- if KP is getting that many mins at the 5 Willy is only playing around 18 minutes a night because Willy ain't no 4 on any planet. |

KP looks bigger. stronger.
Definitely looks more ready to play 5 than two years ago. I would say they should start KP/Willy together with a smaller perimeter unit, maybe 3 guards like CLee/Hardaway/Frank. If another big gets in foul trouble in the first quarter, you use O'Quinn or Noah to do the exact same thing to get through the quarter. Basically. Willy/KP (Noah or O'Quinn if bigs in foul trouble) At this point, I think we should push for Melo to getting bought out. If he's willing to waive the entire ETO money, why not stretch his payment out for this year to 5 years and you can open up capspace for both this year and next. Let the players develop. Melo clearly wants to go to Houston only, and if he wants to negotiate the ETO out of the buyout, do that deal with him. |

This notion that he has to play one position over the other is just the worst thing we can do to this kid. Between him and Willy who they guard should be situational and game by game, they need to develop that chemistry and trust in each other, Willy also needs to play better defense. Similarly on offense he is skilled enough to take what the defense gives him, whether it's inside or out, iso or moving without the ball. We should focus on him developing an ALL ROUND offensive game. This is the ONLY way he can play to his full potential
Trying to force him to play the 5 only as a underhanded way to justify starting Melo is just so played out. Melo should not be part of any equation about KP's development I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates

When we need to we can play KP with Willy (or Oquinn) together. I think if you give Porzinigis too much latitude to sit on the perimeter--hes more likely going to get hurt on drives--or just not live up to his billing. RIP Crushalot😞

Why is Willy not a 4? I think he is the perfect 4 in the McHale mold.
