Dan Favale is one of the worst sport writers with a job today imo. This isn't his most outrageous piece, but how can you justify Gallinari over KP? Let alone Zion.
And I know Zion is the next best thing since sliced bread, but the dude has only played 19 games. 19!! The article even mentioned he's only played 565 minutes in his entire career. We don't even know Zion can play more than 30 games a year yet we're declaring him a top 5 player in his position?
Kristaps from December to February was a top 3 PF in the league. In Feb alone he averaged 25 and 11 on 46/36/83 splits to go with 2.3 blocks per game. His slow start in the beginning of the season has really thrown some shade over just how great KP has been for the last 3 months of the season.

Good. Keep the weight down in the upper body. Dude should work on his core/leg strenght the most, balance, etc. His issue is his weak base and has been for years.
RE: HOLY KRISTAPS: All Things Porzingis - StepBackJay - 08-01-2020
I love KP and think he's going to only improve over time. It's become clear that he has to feel comfortable in an offense to flourish and that is something that will take time. It's also a good reason to not shuffle the team around him every year as I don't think that would help him.
Saw some Dirk shots last night which I like. The one shot I pray gets coached out of him is any shot that has him floating in any direction. You will never hit a turnaround shot floating some diagonal direction away from the basket. There is too much geometry involved to hit a shot like that consistently. If the floating jumpshot can get coached out of him he should be good to go.

What I do like is the development of his Tim Duncan bank shot.

YES. This is an important tool in the box.
RE: HOLY KRISTAPS: All Things Porzingis - JamesConway - 08-05-2020
Last three games:
11 FTAs
11 FTAs
11 FTAs
He's close to five FTs per game now over the year. That's such an important skill. Would be great if he could average 6+ per game in the future.

Porzingis has been great in the bubble. Very confident. I think he showed his best basketball this season. Even on an off shooting night he scored 22.

Now the question is whether the role players can join the party. Getting KP to a good place is important, but if the rest of our shooters can't hit an open shot after standing around watching the Luka/KP show, then none of it will translate to playoff success.
RE: HOLY KRISTAPS: All Things Porzingis - Scott41theMavs - 08-11-2020
Anyone else notice that his PER finally crept above 20 for the year? Good work, KP!!
RE: HOLY KRISTAPS: All Things Porzingis - FunkBoreland - 08-11-2020
Give most of the shots to KP!
Doncic is great getting to the rim and getting the And1, but he never strikes you as a player that can make jump shots anywhere within the 3 point line.
As compared to KP, that has great shooting mechanics for such a big. Its hard to guard a shooter that literally has his elbows on your head, and to contest you would have to get physical. With him, you get a feel that he can stabilize big leads because of his efficiency.

KP walked right into that trap laid by the Clips - if not for Morris some one else would have tried to stir sh#t up. They've got quite the amount of instigators, but he's way too smart not to learn from that experience.
