Possibly the most controversial first round pick in some time and a huge gamble for the New York Knicks Kristaps Porzingis worked out with forward Carmelo Anthony, and showed off his jumper a little bit.

Whether you love the pick or hate the pick it’s a highly discussed topic which like anything else everyone has their opinion on before he’s even played in a NBA game, and
Charles Barkley is among the most recent ones.
Kristaps Porzingis will be a topic that will gain momentum the closer we get to the NBA season and if he does struggle early I’m certain the fans of New York will let him hear it. It’s an excellent sign though that Porzingis and Anthony are working out together early on, it shows the leadership that Anthony has which has been in question by many.
Carmelo did not have to reach out, but I’m sure he wants to start the season off and running so he can end all the noise around him that his trade to New York is a failure and Kristaps Porzingis’ development is a big part of that since they’ll be together until Anthony’s time as a Knick comes to an end more than likely.
