The New York Knicks are in the midst of one of the most alluring periods in franchise history. The wins aren’t coming as consistently as desired, but the Knicks have a genuine rising star on the roster in 20-year-old rookie Kristaps Porzingis.
During the first month of the 2015-16 NBA regular season, Porzingis has set New York ablaze.
A fair case could be made that Porzingis has been the Knicks’ most reliable player through 19 games. Even when his shot has faltered, his presence on the offensive glass and his defensive tenacity have won the basketball community over.
