David Fizdale’s trip to Latvia this summer to visit with Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis appears to have been a successful one.
The Knicks coach, speaking to WNBC New York’s Bruce Beck in an interview this week, said Porzingis is “excited” about the direction of the team and likes the challenges Fizdale has put in front of him.
Fizdale said during summer league in Las Vegas last month that he had planned to visit Porzingis shortly after summer league ended to get to know him and show him all the ways he would like to use him.
