I’ve been waiting patiently to bring to you, the loyal readers of Posting and Toasting, some analysis on our rookie point guard Frank Ntilikina. Sadly, injuries have turned the Frenchman into the Benchman (hire me, New York Post), and Ntilikina has played just 24 minutes over the course of the summer league, preseason, and the regular season.
Someone who is playing, though—and I mean really playing—is Kristaps Porzingis. Or maybe he’s NOT playing. Whichever one is the good one, he’s doing that.
Porzingis had a couple of “student has become the master” moments in the season debut against his former mentor, Carmelo Anthony and his new Oklahoma City Thunder squad, but Porzingis’ growth was perhaps even more clear during the Knicks’ home opener against the Detroit Pistons.
