Dont really know what to say. How about I wouldn't trade MR for KP straight up.

KP and Knox are more equal, both never belong in the starter lineup, both has problem banging-bodies and boxing-out of the paint, plus both are equal defensively, and KP worthless block-shots were never done in the 4th quarter when the Knicks needed blocks n stops.

Thats pretty harsh. Not sure if I would go that far. KP is a two-way player unlike Knox. To consistently come up with blocks and stops in the 4th is a whole other animal, its probably not fair to expect such from rookies or 2 year players. That being said I do think that MR is a way better defensibly, his motor is on another level.

KP has been a 2 way star whereas Knox doesn’t have that upside. Mitch can be a star with the right PG. DPOY potential.

Myles Turner gets no where near the media attention he deserves

What I saw with my eyes was something else. Take away the arrogance and the personality and remember this kid had moves not seen by any 7’3 person and instincts with the ball seen by much smaller players. Passes, defense, and if closer to the basket his rebounding would have been good.
Be prepared if healthy this kid could be MVP discussion. If healthy. Big big if.

These two can’b Be compared. Very different. Not a bad thing. Mitch is exciting potential.

KP is a super skinny Shooting Guard or Small Forward. He never exhibited the strength to be a center, and hold his own down low. I hope he can develop that for his sake and for Dallas or wherever he plays after.

I was never a fan of the 7'3" dribble. SO many times out of control.

I also don't think he will ever average the kind of rebounds Mitch does and will.

I would agree that KP is the right kind of talent for where the NBA is going - where 3pters and offense is all that mattters.

I do like Mitch. He just seems like such a good kid, and I can see him developing his outside shot. Maybe not a 3pter anytime soon, but Marcus Cambey like effective 12-15fter.

your right..But he's playing in such a tiny market, and doesn't really put up video game type numbers..

He did not play in college and started playing organized basketball in 8th grade. I think he has a lot of room for growth in his game. Not having KP’s health issues helps him. He is talented enough that he could have the better career. I worry that KP will have an injury riddled career like Gallo.

anything can happen. Sometimes it takes years for it to click for guys and often then its a confluence of other factors. The thing about Mitch that is special you nailed. His growth has been dramatic. I am praying he's our Ben Wallace and I dont think that is too big a stretch

he could be better than ben wallace. he's a great defender already, but i was really impressed with his free throw shooting improvement and touch around the rim. not all of his points were dunks. he has a chance to be much better than ben wallace.

B
KP overall could be the bettee player given his ability to score at all 3 levels and his defensive potential.

But what makes Mitch so special is he is doing things just based off his own natural ability at the moment. To be as effective as he has been the latter part of the season mostly based on natural talent and gifts is exciting. He can be the Knicks anchor in the middle of years to come hopefully. Don't want to expect a face up game or go to guy on offense. But if he can add a jumped so he is also a threat not just for lobs but also for pops. Then that could give him just enough offense be be all star calibre.

Him and KP would have been great together smh. Now have to hold out hope for a Zion/Mitch combination.
