The sky is the limit for the rapidly rising Kristaps Porzingis of the New York Knicks. From being booed by the crowd on the day he was drafted to the league in 2015, the Latvian has gone on to become one of the true young stars of the NBA and is even expected to the be the future face of the Knicks — if he hasn’t already.
Overall, the Knicks have been bad in Porzingis’ first two seasons in the NBA, but the versatile big man has become a bright spot for the team, which finished last season with a 31-51 record to extend New York’s streak of sub-.500 campaigns to four. Nonetheless, Porzingis showed why his rookie season was no fluke, as he finished his sophomore year in the NBA with averages of 18.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game.
It’s not just the numbers he put up that captured the imagination of hopeful Knicks fans, but also his penchant for coming up with electrifying plays that never fails to inject life to the crowd. With that, we present to you a montage of Porzingis’ top 10 plays from last season as put together by the NBA.
