2016 NBA Rookie Ladder: Jahlil Okafor Making A Comeback?
2. Kristaps Porzingis, New York Knicks
His rebounding numbers have dropped slightly in the month of February, but he’s raised his shooting percentages since the start of the year and looks more confident looking for his shot as a bonafide second option for the Knicks.
The bottom line is Porzingis is coming. The “unicorn” has the potential of a defensive Dirk Nowitzki, which should’ve been enough for the Lakers or Sixers to choose him over Russell and Okafor.
Porzingis wanted to come to New York City, though. He hasn’t crumbled under the bright lights and has instead looked like a future star in this league for years to come.
