He is currently averaging 20/6/2 with 1.3 blocks on 11 FGA per game with shooting splits of 56/40/83. Among players with more than 75 field goals attempted, which is currently the top 137 players in the NBA, he is currently leading the league with a 69% TS. Not to mention, both him and the Jays along with Jrue have great chemistry and they have been abusing smaller defenders on the post through mismatch or KP would find JB through a back door cut or when he is double teamed, he would find the right pass for a wide open 3. His passing has been impressive even tho he doesn’t generate a lot of assists.

I notice that Porzingis has cut down significantly on mid-range shots (which he always converted at a decent rate rate) this season.

Prior to this year, 30.08% of Porzingis' career total FGA were from the 10FT-3PT range, and he shot .427 on those attempts. This season, just 11.54% of his FGA are coming in that range, and he's shooting .417 on those attempts.

Doesn't need to, he gets a lot of open looks on 3s when he screens for the Jays and then he gets easy shots at the rim on mismatches or lobs or dump offs, easy eating. I think in his previous situations, he was the #1 guy (#2 in Dallas, I guess debatable with the Wiz but I think he's better than Beal). He had a weak inside game and if the play broke down, he'd take that shot. Now? If the play breaks down, it's usually Tatum or Brown taking that contested shot.
