Kristaps Porzingis
- Position: Power Forward
- 2016-17 Averages: 33.1 MPG, 18.3 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 2.0 BPG, 1.3 APG, 0.7 SPG

Before Kristaps Porzingis hurt his Achilles, he was playing at an All-Star level. In the first 35 games, he posted averages of 34.8 minutes, 20.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 1.3 assists, and 0.8 steals on a slash line of .452/.402/.788.
Fans were excited about the possibility of Porzingis heading to New Orleans. Since the injury, he’s in a tailspin. In 17 games his averages have dipped to 29.9 minutes, 14.9 points, and 5.6 rebounds on an average slash line of .439/.342/.774.
Porzingis’ three-point shooting has improved this season, and his field goal percentage has shot up because of it. It could be even higher.
After shooting 45.4 percent on long twos (two-point FGAs 16+ ft.) as a rookie, Porzingis is only 32.1 percent on those same attempts in 2016-17. If he gets healthy, he can turn that around.
