Yes, but he's a big dude who has had lower body issues. It's the same concern people have with Embiid.


embiid has had foot surgery twice, big big differencr and he has missed full seasons
No argument, just a discussion  
UConn4523 : 7/19/2018 4:27 pm : link
all good points
Yeah, foot injuries are a whole different animal.  
Keith : 7/19/2018 4:27 pm : link
He's also had lingering issues to that foot as well. That being said, I'll take Embiid too, lol.
Embiid missed his first two seasons completely  
Greg from LI : 7/19/2018 4:29 pm : link
and has played in 31 and 63 games in his next two. Porzingis has played in twice as many NBA games than Embiid despite being in the league one fewer season.

I understand why people would have some concerns about KP's long term durability, but he's not as much of a red flag as Joel Embiid either.

Both players are fantastic and the Knicks would be fortunate to have either one.



Yes, agreed. This is a really silly argument we're all having.


super silly but it is killing my last half hour of my day
Embiid is the best of the 3  
UConn4523 : 7/19/2018 4:34 pm : link
but his injuries are brutal. This was a big season for him though, hopefully he can stay somewhat healthy for a while.
I mean, when a guy plays in 63 games  
Greg from LI : 7/19/2018 4:38 pm : link
And that's seen as a very promising development....yeah, he's got some injury concerns.

Fantastic player, no doubt about it.
KP will be able to pace himself in the regular season  
bceagle05 : 7/19/2018 4:49 pm : link
when KD, Irving and Knox are scoring 75 per night.
Melo/Atlanta deal complete, says Woj.  
bceagle05 : 7/19/2018 4:52 pm : link
Schroder and Muscala to OKC, Melo will be waived. Hawks also get a 2022 first rounder.

Towns seems soft to me, I like what the Knicks are putting together and I don’t think any of the young guys (KP, Frank, Knox, now Mitchell) should be moved right now.



How is KAT soft but not KP who’s always hurt? If health wasn’t a factor I can see why someone would covert KPs skill set but he’s likely going to have an injury plagued career. How can anyone take KP over KAT at this point?


Love when fans think they can predict a player’s injury projection.

You guys know that predicting injuries is virtually impossible right?

Michael Jordan tore his acl early on too. How’d that turn out?

I’m on record, I’ll take KP over towns. I love towns but he’s not a good defensive player. KP has more potential.

And I love when fans disregard injuries to humans that are 7 foot 3, let alone nba players. Statistics and science do not favor KP. I’m not projecting what will happen, I’m simply saying he’s going to get banged up in the NBA (already has) and that it isn’t going to be easy for him and anyone else his size to stay healthy for a prolonged period of time.

Jordan broke his foot and came back the same year.
To be fair to towns  
djm : 7/19/2018 9:51 pm : link
I shouldn’t necessarily say KP has more potential just that i like his rim protecting potential. Towns is a ridiculous talent in his own right, but the downright freaky shot blocking abilities KP brings.... I am not giving up on that just yet thanks.

You don't trade anything for Towns. He's expressed a desire to play for the Knicks several times publically


Sounds like the Lakers and Paul George... if he gets traded it is a risk.
I don't know abotu

Towns expressing desire to play for the Knicks several times. He said something before the draft when asked about being drafted by them.

But that would be sick if we could have both him and KP

He was a huge Knicks fan growing up but when these guys get to the league their desires change. Doesn't stop people from speculating for years but rarely comes to fruition -- see Durant and the Wizards
