Kristap Porzingis is that dude.
When I was first introduced to him, he seemed to be years away from being what he is already in the NBA…a force. After suffering through a rough initiation when drafted into the association, but since that day, it’s been no looking back.
His play has earned him a place in the record books. Details coming from CBS Sports and the great Basketball Reference:
Porzingis is the only rookie in the history of the NBA to score more than 1000 points, grab 500-plus rebounds, make 75-plus three-pointers and block more than a 100 shots.
When I think of the future of the NBA, it looks a lot like Porzingod. Tall, skinny, can handle the ball, can shoot, can dunk, can block shots…it might be easier to list the things he can’t do.
