For one, it finally gives us an interior presence. Especially if teams are going to put a smaller player on him. Second, every good player likes to get touches. I want KP to get much more touches. I can understand the frustration when you don't touch the ball 4-5 possessions in a row. For me, my magic number is 12-14 points for KP on easy baskets/free throws. I think if he does that the rest of his game will fall in place.
For sure. The vision for Porzingis is that he can pull opposing bigs out of the paint. But, if the opposition is allowed to stick a small forward on him, that advantage is negated. So, I fully support sending him to the post to punish those little guys, and then, when the center is forced to guard him again, punish him with the pick and pop.
