This man has never been this wide open, and he was an elite shooter last year in Washington.

He's taken 38 shots and is 60% from 2 and 62% from 3.

Everyone is talking about the Giannis/Dame PnR, but I believe the Tatum/Porzingis PnR is going to be as deadly because of their size and shooting combination.

but these preseason numbers don’t mean shit.

Agree and disagree.

Porzingis is not going to shoot 62% from 3 on the season, obviously. However, the fact that he's seeing wide open looks for the first time in his career does indeed mean a lot. We all know Porzingis is a good shooter already, but we now also know that the Celtics are going to use him effectively. So the "how well is he going to fit in?" question is already looking answered.
