Is Kristaps more talented than Dirk?

[Sarcastic]

According to Dirk, "He's probably way ahead of the curve compared to when I was 20".

"He's way better than I was at 20"

And yes, his defense is already better than Dirk ever was.

[yeaaaman]

you clearly never watched dirk between 2001-2010.

This.

simple question. Is he or naw? I see that he has the handles and drive to the rim that dirk doesnt. who does what better then who and what dont they do what not better than they dont.

You're clearly a moron.

Can Derrick Rose pass the SATs?


The answer is the same

I won't jinx it but he has the potential to be a similar type player than Dirk on offense (maybe not as automatic on the open jumpers) and already better on defense. He can protect the rim because of his length, sure he can still get pushed around but Dirk got pushed around A LOT in his prime as well by the better power forwards in his time.

KP can obviously block shots and has tremendous potential on that side. Dirk isn't as bad as people make him out to be I don't think. I wonder if one of the stat nerds is around to dig up some of his advanced defensive stats.

He's better than Dirk at same age, that's for sure.
Now it's up to hard work and injuries.
