As Knicks fans enjoy the present and imagine the future, they have to be encouraged by how Kristaps Porzingis and Frank Ntilikina have been playing together.
The long, lanky and young teammates from across the pond have only 41 years on the planet between them, but they look like a combination that could be special.
The numbers are stunning, albeit in a small sample size. When Porzingis and Ntilikina have been on the floor together the Knicks are outscoring opponents by more than 40 points per 100 possessions. Despite only playing 85 minutes together, they have a better plus/minus than any other pair of players on the roster.
