Kristaps Porzingis has been named the NBA’s Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the week of April 1st, mixing efficiency and all-around power to propel the Celtics to a 4-0 record since.
Porzingis’ award case was propelled largely by his ridiculous shooting splits. Since April 1, he has shot a blistering 65.9 percent from the floor and an other-worldly 63.6 percent from three-point land. Porzingis also put together a stat-sheet-stuffing performance against Oklahoma City, scoring 27 and notching 5 blocks to compliment his 12 rebounds and 4 assists.
This is Porzingis’ fourth time winning Player of the Week, and first as a member of the Celtics.
