KP an All-Star?

Kristaps Porzingis has been even better in the sophomore follow-up to his phenomenal debut season. KP’s already had two games where he scored 30-plus points, and he’s shooting the lights out.

Porzingis’ slash line of .502/.390/.780 is reminiscent of a shooting guard, not a 7-foot-3 big man. He’s taking and making threes at a higher rate this season, and as a result, his scoring is way up.

Every night Porzingis does something to get Knicks fans excited. Even Carmelo Anthony has admitted to being in awe of his uniquely talented teammate.
