Between Julius Randle, Marcus Morris and RJ Barrett, New York Knicks fans have some summer acquisitions to be excited about heading into next year.
But fans have somehow forgotten the lineup’s sixth man, and the Knicks’ sixth signing of the summer: Bobby Portis.
A fourth-year forward and former first-round pick (2015), he’s a more-than-capable stretch five who can knock down the three.
Tough, long, and trigger-happy.
The exact archetype for the NBA’s newly transformed center position. And yet, Portis will play the role of sixth man, the team’s primary firepower off the bench.
