Other than his weight, what's else is really going against Kristaps?

[Flash Thunderton]

Davis was 220 his second year I believe
Giannis ain't more than 220 now






He's neither of those dudes and I know he's taller but I honestly don't think his weight will be the end all of his career



He can still get buckets and he's still athletic. I mean, he's really one of those dudes that is what he is. More weight would probably help him yeah but his game would really just go from to and at the very most

 

[Flash Thunderton]

And playing for the Knicks, of course.

 

[fifth column]

I have a bad feeling about this Kristaps dude, could just be me though

 

[jaguar paw]

History.

An impatient unforgiving media/fanbase situation.

And a star player in his 30s that wants to win now.

 

[Consumed]

Being european which automatically has people screaming bust and playing in New York where the expectations are unreal from the jump

 

[Saint1]

He's white, Euro and gonna play for the Knicks.

He may be good but we won't know till 2 years from now.

 

[I.V.]

More than anything it's:
1) The Knicks history of NOT developing anything except resentment and sexual harassment cases.
2) The fans and media are impatient.

 

[Playa With Tha Passport]

As a player ?

Nothing really

Skys the limit

Gotta add some muscle

 

[BXKingPin82]

you all can dawg me out
neg a muthafukka beyond recognition
i couldnt draft no euro white boy that high
im sorry

seriously

them muthafukkas need to get some sorta success NOW
even its some sneak in the playoffs shyt

 

[Flash Thunderton]

Being european which automatically has people screaming bust and playing in New York where the expectations are unreal from the jump

Isn't Giannis from Greece or some shyt?

 

[Consumed]

Isn't Giannis from Greece or some shyt?

Yeah. If Giannis had a jump shot like Kris he probably would've gone top 5 in that 2013 draft

 

[LurkMoar]

be a bigman and be lighter than guards brehs



New yawk is an ashole city, hes either gona be a star or he will bust out from the pressure of being a knick

 

[USSInsiders]

He's going to be very good. Just have a sense about him that he's gonna put in work, improve and want to compete. Attitude is huge. A lot of Euros don't take the US seriously and see it as a way to cash out and chill, but I don't get that vibe from him.

I think he'll play like a prime Hedo with more athleticism and better defense

 

[Reid2Achieve]

Intense pressure. More than any other player in this draft really.

He can't be out there having 2 point nights. He has to produce and play aggressively.
