I'm sure KP doesn't like playing in the post, but I'm sure that's where he belongs. Imagine Melo/KP working a two-man game on the same side of the floor. Melo dumps it in two KP who would demand a double team and the subsequent kick out threes to Melo. Or....KP setting screens for Melo and then rolling for easy lob dunks....or floating out to the perimeter while Melo collapses the defense on drives and kicks out to KP for deep jumpers of his own. This is the offense we should be running. KP lingering out at the three point line heaving threes that lead to lead to long rebound run outs and easy points for the opposition is a killer. It's poor defensive balance when the biggest guy on your team is hanging out on the perimeter. He can't stay with the guards on those run outs and Noah is the best rebounder on the team but can't stay healthy. Look how the get killed on the boards every game. It's crazy but yet we got a guy 7'4" hanging out at the 3 point line shooting bricks. It offends the basketball sensibilities of old school guys like me and Kiyaman. It's one thing if KP can step into a three trailing the break. It's another thing if he's just hanging out there on the perimeter at 7'4" like he is Kyrie. You wonder about the regression in his game that's it. KP should be modeling his game after Dirk in his heyday. Dirk worked the elbows and killed from there, not just settling for threes just because he can shoot it.
just hearing that name makes me cringe like Fredric Weiss, Gallinari, Mcdysse(sp), Charles Smith
