If there were any question about how good Kristaps Porzingis can be before, there shouldn’t be now. The New York Knicks rising star has been a dominant force at EuroBasket 2017, displaying the abilities that the NBA is growing to be aware of.
After Latvia suffered a heartbreaking loss in the opening game of EuroBasket, Porzingis has bounced back to lead his native country to two impressive victories.
Latvia recovered from its debuting defeat by destroying Belgium by a count of 92-64. Porzingis stepped up to lead that charge, recording 27 points on 8-of-16 shooting from the field and 11-of-12 shooting from the free throw line.
