Knicks · Porzingis Unicorn Epic Mix (page 1)

At the same time, when I see stuff like this I hate Screaming A. Smith even more. I know this kid "Fell" to us but he had question marks and two other teams passed on him. I say that because Towns was the no brainer.
What we don't know and never will is what would Phil have done if we had the 2nd pick? Or the 3rd? But, lets be real too, Phil/Gaines/Mills etc all did their homework and we didn't pass.

We need just temper our expectations (ok, I do at least) and hope the kid stays healthy and continues his trajectory.
Sign him up for the "SpaceJam" remake.

Great reminder that some good stuff is happening and Knicks are not about Rose and Melo, its about KP!!

dont listen to Smith man - hes a drama queen but also a big Phil Jackson hater probably cause hes either jealous of his contract or cause he doesnt have any kind of personal relationship with him. hes such a fake Knicks fan

to be fair they did say that Gaines recommended Phil to pick KP with the #1 pick if they had it long before the draft

thanks for that. for some reason i got a little choked up watching him. of particular note, please take a look at the passing highlights at the 51 second mark. i know they're just highlights but they do show that kp6 can become a terrific passer/playmaker. this is an aspect of his game that hornacek should develop and exploit. passing big men like noah and gasol are gold, especially in the triangle. sure hope he can get rose and jennings to become cutters.

Im hoping that Rose's penetration forces doubles making life easier for KP and Melo. Rose has the tools to be a great point on the triangle so it will be interesting to see if he can assimilate.
As for Jennings, this will be a good test for him.

Rose and Jennings obviously in a contract year want to put up good stat's. Question is will then work hard off the ball to get easy shots? or feel pressure to create? there is a time for that.
Rose and Jennings have to know they are here to feed the unicorn.

Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to mix this 2 min video?

Noah seems to be a team first kind of guy and already a good passer.

i have been saying this ever since we acquired jennings and rose: their primary role is to push the ball in transition, but once we get into the halfcourt, their skills at creating for others are highly overrated to the point of subtraction by addition. i don't mean they should never drive and kick, but rather that that aspect of their respective games should be lessened in order to allow for more froncourt players passing and playmaking.

i say this about their playmaking for the simple fact that both leave their feet to pass the ball, which diminishes their ability to create. that results in diminishing returns, even if you factor in offensive rebounds/tip ins.

less driving and more cutting from them would be the right approach. no more than 17 fga between the two of them.

anyway there may be some good news on this front, in terms of adapting his game and deferring, read lang whitaker's and shaun powell's comments:

thanks man...it actually took at least 8-10 hours spreaded through 3 days .....if i had proper footage then i couldve done it faster but sometimes i just end up looking on youtube to find necessary footage

Just to annoy the haters I'd love to see a Melo D and assist reel from last season.

That Porzingis reel was incredible, great work Pavvy! I also got chills. Can't wait for the season.
