The EuroBasket group stage has finished, and we have separated the EuroWheat from the EuroChaff. All three current Knicks—Mindaugas Kuzminskas, Willy Hernangomez and Kristaps Porzingis—made it through to the round of 16.
But before we look forward to the knockout rounds, let us take a moment to acknowledge all of the basketball goodness we got out of our Knicks in the opening stage of the tournament.
Kristaps Porzingis (5 games): 22.4 points, 51.4 FG%/40.9 3P%/90 FT%, 6.0 free throws, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks
Kristaps ranks fourth in the tournament in points, trailing Dennis Schroder, my hero Alexey Shved and THE NEW AND IMPROVED KRISTAPS, Lauri Markkanen.
