In January: 22/10/5. 63% shooting, 56% from 3. 68% last month and it's not just put backs and dunks like Deandre. Dude is legit. |
With Porky's Achilles issues, that also complicates things. His long-term durability/health were question marks probably. How many 7'3 guys have had a long and healthy career, especially those tasked with bearing a huge scoring burden like Porky does (or will, or should). |
What is the outlook for Porz's injury? Is he missing games? (I know I am too lazy to look it up)

He's undergoing an MRI today on his Achilles. Last played 1/11, and has had a few poor games related to his injury. Big guys and leg injuries...just concerning.

It is concerning. I know he also had injury issues around this time last season.
Even though he is a Knick, I hope the big fella gets well soon. It is good to have good new talent in the league.

His Randle takes... I understand at the time this summer being lower on him given his overall season, but he would straight up laugh whenever people asked about him on podcasts this summer. Had him as a bust. He went overboard with Randle, but I generally like his takes. |
He was down on Randle but as long as i followed him...his seems too nice a guy to completely write off any young player's development. It will be interesting to see how he projects Randle among the 3rd year players. He did not have him in the top-10 last year. |
I remember earlier in the season he was starting to admit that Randle changed his game in ways he didn't anticipate he could. Props for owning up to it. Pelton has fair takes for the most part. |
I will never understand why so many people assumed Randle was incapable of improving. what was frustrating about it was nobody every offered any sort of reasoning as to WHY they felt Randle couldn't improved. |
Some people thought he was stupid. |

Living in the Tri-State area, get to see a lot of Embiid or Porky. Both are pillars to their respective teams, and hopefully won't be haunted by the injury bug.
