Kristaps Porzingis

[HammerDown]

This guy appears to be for real. He's making real progress already and has a great attitude.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

He's legit. I laughed when NY fans booed him on draft night, he's got potential to be a top 10 player in the league one day.

 

[trojanfan12]

The best part is he's made Stephen A. shut the fuck up.

 

[tsubibo]

He really is for real. I was concerned he was a little thin when I saw his videos but since the season began he has really bulked up.

1) Welcome to the hoop

2) Why do you have 3 favorite teams

ZingerBocker is the real deal, y'all.


Sky's the Limit.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I wonder if the draft was re-done today what it would look like.....

Guess?

I think Towns definitely goes #1 again- there should be no debate there- but would Kristaps go #2 to the Lakers? ITs so early its kinda ridiculous to speculate about- but what we have seen thus far from him and Okafor looks really good. Mudiay looks like a great athlete too.

"Kraps"?

 

[Heatles84]

I will admit that I was completely wrong about Porzingis. I thought he was going to turn out exactly like Darko. I'll eat my crow on this one.

24,14, and 7 blocks tonight

Too early for any of this…

 

[WiggyRuss]

thats UNBELIEVABLE for a 19 year old who is 7 foot 3.....

DAMN......Knicks mightve just lucked out big time that this guy was there at #4

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Gotta start upping that FG% but yeah hes gonna be gooooooooood

He looks closer to Dirk caliber than Darko. Different player to be sure, but the Knicks may have hit the jackpot. Naturally, they had to fall into a guy they didn't want to get him lol

 

[ManuForever]

Goes to show how much Knicks fans actually know when it comes to the draft...

I don't actually follow teams. I kinda like following players. Mavs and Nets are two of the best teams that Kidd was on (on my list probably a top 3 point guard of all time). The Bulls cause Jordan rules. Lol.

He's good, but as always the New York media is a hype machine. Remember Linsanity? If he was putting up these exact numbers in Memphis or some other small market no one would pay attention. I will wait to judge until I see more than 15 games.

I appreciate the sentiment- but Linn I thought had OBVIOUS fluke written all over him- a scrawny point guard with limited athleticism.

Kraps is 7 foot 3 and 19 years old. If he TOTALLY SUCKED this year and barely played it wouldnt have surprised me at 19 years old and never playing in the NBA before--- but for him to show what he has this early I think is a pretty damn good indication.

Its funny- a lot of times- you can tell right away with rookies- especially the super-young ones. If they can play at 19, 20 years old- chances are once they get some experience and years in the league they will only improve.

It can be a little confusing when looking at 4 year college guys that have immediate success- because you wonder if this guy has reached his physical peak already at like 23 years old or whatever- thats why I think holding judgment on a guy like Clarkson is validated- all though- I am coming around- especially with that shooting percentage- all though he doesnt seem to be a great play maker- he definitely looks to be at the very least a very efficient scorer.

Pretty sure everyone would notice when a rookie drops 24,17, & 5 in his first month of the season
