Kristaps Porzingis and Karl-Anthony Towns were the first and fourth picks overall in the 2015 NBA Draft, respectively. There are a lot of similarities between the two players; both have many guard-like skills despite their seven-foot-plus statures. Porzingis spoke with Marc Berman of the New York Post about his relationship with Towns:
“I always had a lot of questions for him about college, he had a lot of questions for me coming from Europe,’’ Porzingis said last weekend. “We interacted a lot. We’re staying in contact, text a lot. We always look forward to the next opportunity to play each other.”
Porzingis believes that the two will have a great rivalry:
“He’s playing at a real high level, he’s going to be a big star in this league and I’m looking forward to having a long rivalry against him,’’ Porzingis said.
Porzingis also praised Towns’ game:
He’s playing at a real high level, he’s going to be a big star in this league and I’m looking forward to having a long rivalry against him,’’ Porzingis said.
…
“He can do anything he wants on the floor,’’ Porzingis said. “He can shoot from outside, drive from outside, postgame, big strong rebounder.”
…
“He’s a little different but some things we’re kind of similar at,’’ Porzingis said. “But I really love his game, I really love his aggressiveness.”
