Perfect preseason for Kristaps Porzingis. In three matches, he has not suffered defeat and above all, his performances are very good. The proof: he averages 16 points with 60% shooting success (and 3-pointers) and 6 rebounds in 23 minutes.
His last match against the Knicks was his most successful with 20 units, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. The former New York player notably hit four times from behind the arc.
“The ball will land a lot in the hands of Kristaps Porzingis because of his qualities”announces Joe Mazzulla for NBC Sports.
Sharing the ball with Jrue Holiday, Derrick White and especially Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum is not a problem for him. Its adaptation already seems successful.
“We look out for each other, we try to make life easy”says the Latvian. “In this match, we showed signs that point in this direction. It was a very good match to build our chemistry. »
And for his personal effectiveness as well. “It’s so easy to play with these players,” he adds. “I keep repeating myself but they attract attention, so I have open 3-point shots, they find me and I take them. It’s that simple. »
