Knowing how the C's typically get in his head and considering he's actually put up impressive efficiency numbers across the board over the last 9 games...I say just give Crowder and the refs time to piss him off and you'll get plenty of reasons to by the end of the third.

One of the most beautiful and promising things I've ever seen is a promising KP work in the high post when he has time to work and a one on one.
One of the most clunky, clumsy and sad things I've ever seen is KP catching the ball in the post as a double team collapses on him.
Honorable sad mention: 'Sgust when I see Marcus Smart hold his own on defense while KP tries to post him up.
@storyteller articulated the point, perfectly.
I've also been part of the school of thought that Melo held KP. To hone my stance a little better, let me say KP NEEDS a dangerous offensive distraction on the court for him to be fully effective.
It doesn't have to be Melo but Melo has been the only outside or spot up shooting threat on KP's court.
Though I believe KP's potential is just only being scratched, I do feel hopeful that as we are clearly in the twilight of the Melo era, our prospective draft position, possible free agency, and developing role players will have the opportunity to provide KP with that no. 2 or that No. 1b player that will complement him by keeping the defense honest if the basketball gods through us another KP type bone.
Brings us to an exciting topic, actually - what does an excellently built team look like with a focus on KP?
I'd love to hear ya'll thoughts.
I'm thinking the best roster to work towards would be:
PG:
A pass first floor general w/ an outside shot that needs to be respected and atleast aggressive when he needs to drive. Does not need to be capable of carrying the scoring load, though. He needs to be the most mature and professional person on the court...Someone who takes any personality on the court and can pull them to the side on some, "Get in the fukking game and complain in the locker room, nikka!" type of shyt.
SG: A solid three and D guy. Doesn't need the ball in his hands and is excellent on the move, regarding cuts and rolls and able to find that spot for the sneaky corner three. (Actually, Courtney Lee is already that but our guard core should be defensive stalwarts through and through)
SF: A mobile and athletically gifted guy who can create his own shot. This should be either the alpha on the team or atleast the talented 1A option who shows effort on both sides of the court.
PF: If KP moves to the center position, then a mobile player that can take a mid range jumper, okay in the post, and agile enough to be sevricable on a mismatch on the perimeter after a PNR. His offense really doesn't need to be more versatile than an O'Quinn, honestly.
C: Hmm...I don't think KP should be playing PF after this year, honestly. If somehow he doesn't become a permanent big... Then an agile, defensive monster. Able to catch the highlight alley-oop and expected to get those put backs.
Anybody else? It's fun thinking about it.
Fam, check out the Build a Team 17.0 rules thread at the Knicks board on Realgm. I been waiting to fall into a draft position to grab KP for 3 Build a Teams just so I could try to construct a playoff team around him. It'd be dope to get the Coli doing Build a Team drafts, but that ish requires some heavy organization and 30 posters that are pretty dedicated. I think the Coli would be dope since it'd have fans from other teams; we've only had Chicago, Pelicans and Toronto fans in our drafts, but heads get obsessed and it's literally perfect for ish like this.
For KP here's my thoughts
PG - Floor general for damn sure. It's more important that he can understand angles and collapse the defense than anything else, but he's gotta be willing to pull the jumper when defenders go under. A PG capable of running the two man game with KP whenever the team is running into trouble is all I'm really asking for.
Wings - I'd combine SG and SF because you definitely want a 3 and D athlete at one slot and imo a ball handler at the other. Having a second ball handler to crash the lane would open things up on kick outs and you hope create openings for KP to find space on the floor.
PF - Honestly, I'd probably try to swing KP to C and have him take advantage of the mismatches. To do that though, I'd have to find a banger at PF. He'd have to be a workhorse who boxes consistently and attacks the boards. Doesn't need to be a big time shot blocker, but does need to be a smart help defender to deal with the influx of stretch PF's and slashing primary ball handlers. Even though he's a C, I really liked Biyombo for this type of role and still do. Dude has absolutely no offensive game but does all the dirty work.

Plumlee actually givin' some good minutes. Phil's got some solid scouts. Dudes looked past the Biff Tannen aesthetic and T-Rex arms.
