@ZemaPromos must have a thing for Spainards or some shyt, Jose Calderon is not a starting level PG, it's why Detroit & Dallas got rid of him. He cannot defend, period. You cannot have a competent defense in the NBA giving up dribble penetration to every PG you play against, which is what Jose does, it leads to breakdowns all over the court and puts more pressure on the bigs.
Lopez & Porzingis are a very good defensive frontcourt together, teams are shooting 47% at the rim vs them, which is excellent for a tandem, usually teams have 1 guy sub 50% and then another above, you say KP can't defend yet his rim protection numbers are almost identical to Karl Towns, and he's got the 2nd best defensive rating on the Knicks
You bring up Hassan Whiteside being a good defender, opponents are shooting 47.5% at the rim vs him, Porzingis is at 47.1%
All of this to defend Jose "Matador" Calderon? Muthafukkas were calling him a bad defender when he was in his 20s, but now he's not to blame for the Knicks defense in his 30s?
He's on the floor for his shooting which the triangle needs and because he fully understands how it's run, they're hoping Lopez/Porzingis can clean up his mess which they cant. He is without question the weak link for the Knicks defense, they will be a top 10 defensive team if/when they get rid of him at PG.
I couldn't have said it better myself
he coming breh
