The NBA world can be something of a feeding frenzy, with 30 teams all competing for a very limited resource in the form of superstar players. As such, when one potentially becomes available, even if it’s long shot, the vultures begin to circle. Such was the case recently when teams called the New York Knicks inquiring about future star Kristaps Porzingis.
The Latvian big man was selected by the Knicks in the 2015 NBA Draft with the fourth pick and has gone on to become one of the NBA’s most promising young talents. At 7’3″, Porzingis possesses a sweet shooting stroke plus the ability to protect the rim on the defensive end, making him a very rare commodity.
