Before the season started, many thought Porzingis would only be an offensive minded big, but not even that until he was able to add more muscle.
Through 4 games, while Porzingis has been fairly consistent with his scoring while averaging nearly 12 points a game, he has been filling up the stat sheet while ranking 2nd among rookies in rebounding and steals and tied for 3rd in blocks.
The 7’3″ power forward/center capped his play this week by tallying 13 points, 14 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks in just 24 minutes on Monday night.
