Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis needs to improve rebounding to reach elite status

A 7-foot-3 specimen of athletic dexterity, Kristaps Porzingis sauntering across the lane and swooping in for a dunk, then stepping beyond the three-point arc and swishing a three-pointer like someone a foot his junior is a sight to behold.

Kevin Durant dubbed him a mythical creature. Fans, opponents and media alike marvel at the Unicorn.

There is no doubt Porzingis is the toast of the Big Apple and a budding superstar. He leaves us in awe on a nightly basis, but make no mistake, the third year Latvian forward/center is far from a perfect player.
