The most critical aspect of Jeff Hornacek‘s tenure as head coach of the New York Knicks will be how he develops Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis is the future face of the franchise, and has already begun turning heads.
During his introductory press conference, Hornacek outlined how he plans to utilize Kristaps Porzingis, and asked an interesting question: why can’t he be the best player in the NBA?
That may seem outlandish, but Porzingis is unlike any player we’ve ever seen before. He’s physically overwhelming at 7’3″ with a 7’7″ wingspan, and has a rare combination of athleticism, shooting range, and defensive prowess
Thus, coach Hornacek asked a question that many Knicks fans have quietly pondered: what’s stopping Porzingis from one day becoming the best player in the NBA?
