After a hot start to the season, New York Knicks’ star Kristaps Porzingis has cooled off a bit over the past two months.
But Ian Levy of Nylon Calculus has pointed out that Porzingis has connected on the most jump shots with defenders within two feet or less of him while he’s shooting.
So far this season, Porzingis has attempted 52 jumpshots where the defender was two feet or less away from him, by far the most in the league. The next highest total is DeMar DeRozan with 37. Porzingis has made 53.
