On Tuesday, we took a look at the Knicks at the 20-game mark and how they are competing this season.
With 25 percent of the season in the books, it’s also important to look at the homegrown players and how they’re progressing.
Kristaps Porzingis Has Blossomed
After a torrid start, Porzingis’ shooting has cooled down a bit, but his overall numbers remain stellar. He is averaging 27 points per game, and shooting 46.4 percent from the floor, 39.8 percent from 3-point land, and 84.1 percent from the free-throw line.
It’s the best shooting of his career despite an astronomical 34-percent usage rate.
