New York Knicks: Do Kristaps Porzingis’ fatigue problems highlight possible draft mistake?
Kristaps Porzingis has publicly stated he is physically exhausted, and it’s showing up on the stat sheet. Frank Ntilikina is nice, but he can’t take the pressure off Porzingis like Dennis Smith Jr. could’ve.
The New York Knicks are beginning to tear apart at the seams. Not only have they lost six of their last eight games, but now their superstar player, Kristaps Porzingis, is expressing a level of exhaustion, which has become noticeable due to his decline in production.
