Tonight will be another chance for NBA fans to watch one of the most promising young European players, a towering Latvian capable of swatting shots on one end as he is of raining three-pointers on the other. But enough about Davis Bertans.
Kristaps Porzingis, the other Latvian in the NBA, is in his third season, still just 22, and already a legitimate star. He’s a top-10 scorer (nearly 25 points per game) and top-three shot-blocker, and already has New York forgetting about trading away former face of the franchise Carmelo Anthony.
