You won’t find many who contest the belief that Kristaps Porzingis can become the face of the New York Knicks. He’s an unprecedentedly coordinated 7’3″ big man who can defend multiple positions and do a bit of everything offensively.
For as exciting as Porzingis already is, Phil Jackson wouldn’t be The Zen Master if he weren’t picking his rising star’s game apart.
There’s a very big difference between being pessimistic and being constructively critical. Jackson is the latter, and that’s a major reason why so many around the Association believe Porzingis can achieve greatness: his support system.
