New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis is making Knicks fans regret booing him on draft night. The Latvian big man has been making big play after big play for the Knicks early in his rookie season. The one thing he’s being doing that has been turning the most heads, his putback slams.
Kristaps already has a little highlight tape going for himself only eight games into his NBA career filled with nasty putback slams like the one above. If he keeps making big plays like this one, the Knicks fans will quickly forget about their displeasure on draft night.
ESPN’s Tom Haberstroh puts into perspective the effectiveness of Kristaps putback slams.
Porzingis has a league-leading 6 putback dunks this season. Seven teams are looking for their first.
