MKG is actually a fairly decent perimeter defender and his shot has come a LONG way since he's first entered the league. Him being able to change his form and improve that area of his game is enough to show me his ability to adapt and adjust parts of his game. He's still very young and can drop some of his bad habits.
I've always believed you can change things like form, readability on the floor, awareness etc etc in someones game. But you can never really change the kind of "motor" they have. It's either you bring effort or you don't.
You need players like MKG in a team with Melo, because he does all the things Melo can't/won't do. But I wouldn't bring him on the team just to shed Caldo and drop in the draft.
No thanks to Kemba either. I love the guy, but he's not the right player for the Knicks and the system we're trying to run. Ideally--The Knicks would like to pair Melo with a Big that can help space the floor for Melo in the Triangle.
