It is truly a pleasure to watch this kid develop right in front of our very eyes. Phil Jackson got
a ton of grief from the media when he picked him and so far, so good. I love how ALL the team supports
each other and plays off of each other. Great win tonight!!!
NOBODY expected him to be this good this quickly. Even dirk played sparingly in his rookie year. KP is our most important player right now. He can score,is our top rebounder,and makes smart player. His early foul trouble is decreasing too
Maybe Ewing being in the building actually helped.
It felt like a passing of the torch. From the last true Knicks superstar to the next one. (Sorry Melo)

Seriously!!!!
LOVIN KP's development so far. He's doing what a lead big man should. He hits the boards! Defends the paint! Scores and gets to the line! Just 12 games in and he's doing this already!!!
I sang Phil's praises all summer and now everyone can see his BBall IQ and vision for team building!!! He made the right choice in the biggest draft we had since Ewing!!!

In 12 games, KP is already our best player. Not even best 2 way player, but BEST player on our team.
This kid is only 20......Phucking crazy.

i know you want everybody to praise phil like a god BUT even phil didnt expect him to be this good this quickly. In fact he said it would probably take 2 years. I give phil credit for drafting him BUT i give porzingis credit for evolving much sooner than expected

My comments were mostly about how Phil rebuilt the team and on top of that he gets FULL CREDIT for taking the player with the most upside when it was a risky thing and he KNEW he would get killed for taking KP! Don't tell me Phil doesn't deserve FULL CREDIT.
Talking AA right now on post game he was a bad ass scraper

Really excited about him. After the summer league I questioned whether he should even be in the starting line up. The great thing is he is going to get a lot better.

i agree your boy phil did a good job but its very early to build a statue for him quite yet. Porzingis was the best player available at that point so mosts GMs would pick him

You're totally rewriting history now and underestimating the pressure of GM moves in NY! I 100% disagree with the narrative you're making in this case. It was a brave move to take KP! It was also in line with his stated goal for this team. Phil has done a very good job and after all the crap the media and some fans dumped on him it's only right to acknowledge his moves have already shown he did the right things.
The make up of the players he's brought in is light years beyond what we used to have.

this thread is about porzingis not phil jackson. I gave him credit for KP but not every other move has been a success. I am a phil fan but still has work to do

It absolutely was a brave move and it was criticized by a lot of media members. The knicks losing the lottery was really disappointing. Phil made a great move drafting Porzingis.

That's media 101. He was managing expectations. I'm not saying he projected to be a double-double machine or score 29 in game 12…
But 2 years.
No.
