All I'm asking is you guys keep a realistic expectation of dude. It was only 18 mins of summer league play. Us Knicks fans have a tendency to get too excited & overrating our rookies. Frye & Fields come to mind.

Bring back the Golden Era
Still can't believe we gave up a first round draft pick for Bargarbage. Let the Nets deal with him. As far as KP, let him prove himself. I want him to succeed but I know it will take time to acclimate to the NBA and getting his weight up is priority. Nice flashes of the kid in summer league 
IMO dude does not need to handle the rock as a Point Forward at all. He can't set up plays to pass & turns the ball over too much because his handle isn't that great either.
What I saw as a strength from him was his set shot & off screen shots. He establishes that as his main offensive weapon then he can use a simple pump fake (like he did in the 2nd half) to get clear drives to the basket. (he can really hurt teams with this)
Still needs work on defense though

This. I never forgot the Frye = Duncan in 2 years thread from
So you clones finally giving Porzingis a chance to prove himself? 
I always laugh at sports fans who are quick to be critical of FO moves. Sometimes you just gotta trust that the people who get paid big $ JUST MIGHT have clue of what they're doing. Sure some moves can backfire. All im saying is sometimes you gotta be patient.
When Riley drafted D-Wade my initial reaction was "who's that?". Knowing Riley i figured Wade would be a defensive stud. He was being advertised as the next Gary Payton if you guys remember. I wasnt excited but i figured ..ehh.. let's see. He turned out okay
Ever since the day they drafted McNabb as Eagles fans booed i stopped jumping to conclusions about draft choices until ive had a chance to see them in action/

Did you think he's going to be a impact player or a bust when seeing him off top?So you clones finally giving Porzingis a chance to prove himself?

So far he looks solid so were letting his game do the talking

WHen i first heard the Knicks drafted him i was afraid. Afraid he might be ... good. If not Great. Face it, it's not secret that I hate you bums
My reason for thinking this is for Phil to bypass other obvious (consensus) NBA-READY talent he must have seen SOMETHING in the kid.
And this is not like Detroit with Milicic (sp). Detroit had a loaded championship-ready team and could afford to take a high-risk/high-reward type gamble while Darko develops behind Wallace (Ben and Rasheed). The Knicks do NOT have such luxury.
So while i enjoyed and toasted watching you bums be miserable for a few days over the draft Im now back to my paranoid
pattern fearing this kid might actually be good. I saw the summer-league games. I like how fluid he is for a 7-footer.
