    Like I said watch the actual games and watch film of his low post d vs big dudes not stretch 4s like like Love.
    It wasn't pretty last season.
    Stretch 4s took him outside and rained threes and centers pounded him inside.

    I like KP but he is overrated. I'm a Knicks fan. He got potential and talent but a long way to go.

    you're still not getting it. you can keep repeating that you watch actual games all you want. that doesn't really help when there really isn't a low post real center threat like you believe there is out there

    Uh go on YouTube to see all 40 of his points. Guess what? Most are in the paint.

    He isn't strong enough to defend most 5s in the paint. Nuff said. Teams will feature their center more if you got KP defending.

    are you trying to say those 40 points were with KP guarding him? if so, that's false. in fact he scored about 8-10 of that 40 on KP

    Not all of them were on KP. He got a put back, probably 3-4 post moves, a layup and a couple wide open short shots in the paint when KP was out of position. My point still stands.
    KP has a long way to go defensively, especially vs centers in the paint.

    Pretty similar and related but yeah not the same.

    However he sucks at post d vs big dudes and being out of position leading to open shots in the paint is not good either.

    Fishing for help d blocks makes for good highlights but not good practice.
