New York Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis Was Recruited By Division II Schools

New York Knicks rookie sensation Kristaps Porzingis recently revealed that NCAA Division II squads recruited him the strangest way.
There’s a big reason New York Knicks rookie sensation Kristaps Porzingis didn’t travel overseas and play NCAA basketball as a freshman last season.
He wasn’t heavily recruited.
So, the tall and lanky Latvian stayed in Europe to play out the year post high-school prior to his NBA Draft eligibility.
However, KP did reveal recently that a few Division II schools came knocking in a very interesting way, via Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News:
“It was funny,” Porzingis told Bondy. “I received like two or three offers. It was a coach [reaching out to me], writing, ‘I want you play for us, we’re Division II.'”
Obviously, Porzingis played for Baloncesto Sevilla of Liga ACB in Spain prior to becoming the No. 4 pick in last year’s NBA Draft.
