Former New York Knicks great Bernard King has been playing and watching the game of basketball for more than 40 years. Recently, he saw something in New York that hadn’t witnessed before: Kristaps Porzingis versatility.
“He’s been really outstanding," King said of the Knicks' third-year forward. "I’ve never seen a 7-3 guy that can hit 3-point shots the way he does. Also, he has a tremendous understanding of basketball and where his placement of his body is on the court in terms of positioning. And how to get position.”
His recent mini-shooting slump aside, Porzingis has taken a big leap forward this season.
