Hawks forgot the number one rule in having Kristaps Porzingis

Teams that have playoff success with Kristaps Porzingis on the roster have one common thread: they all had reliable depth behind the unicorn.

Porzingis is a brilliant player who solves many of the Atlanta Hawks' biggest problems. He can score on all three levels, defend the paint, and open the floor for his teammates. His only true weakness is his health - he's averaged just 56 games played a season over his career.

The Boston Celtics understood this when they acquired Porzingis. They supported him with a center rotation of Al Horford and Luke Kornet, who make up a solid center rotation by themselves.
