Kristaps Porzingis is thriving next to the Jays (alien.top)

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.

I’ve been appalled at the way the NBA podcasters (Lowe, Bontemps, recently the jokers on the ringer nba show) have dismissed Porzingis as a legit 3rd offensive threat behind the Jays. One dude said they thought he’d be more a 6th man by the playoffs. That’s ludicrous. He’s an excellent third option and there are plenty of nights he’ll lead them in scoring because he’ll get so many good looks.

I get the injury concerns but a big portion if NBA heads have also written him off as an all-star level talent, which he is.
