Forty-seven games into the season, Kristaps Porzingis is still navigating the trials and tribulations as the number one option for an NBA franchise.
On the surface, Porzingis has the qualities both on and off the court that fans wished Carmelo Anthony developed during his time with the New York Knicks. Porzingis is the consummate team player and generally gets his shots within the flow of the offense.
Yet lately, Porzingis has struggled with shouldering the load and responsibility that comes with being a star. KP’s shot selection has been suspect and subsequently, he has become a less efficient scorer.
