Washington Wizards power forward Kristaps Porzingis is looking to prove people wrong during the 2022-23 season.
In an interview with Ava Wallace of the Washington Post, Porzingis said he was miffed by ESPN ranking him No. 86 on its list of the top 100 players in the NBA.
Regarding the perceived slight, Porzingis said: "Especially this year, I'm coming in with a chip on my shoulder because of the ESPN rank, the this, that, it’s kind of—OK. I use it as gasoline, as energy. I'm looking forward to reminding everybody what I can do on both ends of the floor.
