Kristaps Porzingis had a woeful shooting start to EuroBasket.

There's really no two ways around it - shooting 0/13 from range across the first three games in international play isn't exactly what a player envisions before tipoff.

Despite his dreadful daybreak, Porzingis was able to flip the script throughout the remainder of his tenure with the Latvian squad this summer, but it wasn't his shooting that popped - while 10/23 is certainly an elite metric, it was a far cry from the method in which he truly dominated the game.
