if the knicks didnt lay out the *negatives* to the team--they would be doing a diservice to themselves and their fans. I point out what needs to be fixed. but I also point out what they are doing well. im sorry im not a rah rah type

Kurt just doesn't really play in the post. He only shoots on the pick and roll when he's open, so he doesn't get fouled.

The guy is still averaging a double double. It's hard to get mad at him because he doesn't get his points at the line.

if KT's free throw attempts were high we'd be in big trouble because he should never try to play in the post! just do what you do best and shot from the baselines. Which is exactly what he's been doing!

Kurt is shooting 51% ALL of it on jumpshots. I would even venture to say the only time he's made FTs are a result of loose ball fouls, not on shot attempts.

He doesnt play in the post. 51% is excellent when you consider his role in the offense.

Listen BRIGGS, if you don't understand the reason why Kurt has so few free throw attempts then you understand basketball less than I thought.

Kurt, however, is doing exactly what we need him to do. Not to mention, he's among best jumpshooting 4's in the league right now. Can't name too many 4's who hit the open jumper off the pick like him. He's playing great ball at this point. Anyone who can't see this either has a low bball iq or is just trying to make conversation.

this is such a bad post. kurt is playing AWESOME yet you go and find some stat that doesn't depict him in a good light and post it. absolutely awful. we all know he's not the starting 4 of a championship team but yet you wanted to make a post about his lack of FT's. unreal. you're becoming a parody of yourself.

I just think whoever we have playing the 5 or 3 should be a strong post up player. We don't have that strong post presence, but if we had one, Kurt would be a perfect compliment.

I think it's easier to find a strong post up player, than a strong rebounding, fundamentally sound pick and roll player who gives u 10 rebounds a night. I say we play out the year, and see what we can get as far as the front court goes next year.

i have no problem w/KT playing his perimeter game as long as Nazr is excelling in the post...you can't have 2 guys clogging up the paint anyway...KT's midrange threat opens up the lane for Steph & Craw to get penetration & for Nazr to get the easy baskets inside when defenses collapse on the penetration.

Don't worry Bobby-my inside info says not one GM is taking his insight into account
