Kristaps Porzingis

Kristaps Porzingis is a Latvian basketball player currently signed with the Boston Celtics in the NBA. Porzingis’ professional career started in Europe with Spanish club Sevilla where he won the EuroCup Basketball Rising Star award in 2015. This led the New York Knicks to draft him in the 2015 NBA draft with the fourth overall pick. Fearing he would be a bust, Knicks fans booed the young Latvian on draft night, but soon, Porziņģis embarked on a journey that would leave an indelible mark on the Knicks, their fans, and NBA in general.

The 7 foot 3 inches power forward/center is known for his extraordinary ability to shoot from beyond the arc which we have never seen from such tall players. His capability to shoot creates matchup problems for traditional centers who usually are not comfortable defending players on the perimeter. His height also helps him in shot blocking as he has averaged 1.8 blocks per game in his career. Despite his size, Porziņģis is surprisingly agile and mobile. Porziņģis's playing style is defined by his exceptional height, three-point shooting ability, shot-blocking prowess, versatility on both ends of the court, and basketball IQ. His unique combination of talents earned him nicknames like "Porzingod'' and “Unicorn”.

Throughout Porzingis’ career, injuries posed a significant challenge. The 7’3 frame came with nagging injuries that influenced Knicks’s decision to trade him to the Dallas Mavericks. After 3 more injury-riddled years with the Mavs, he had a brief stint with the Washington Wizards, and now he dons the green and white of the Boston Celtics.

In Boston, he found himself surrounded by a team that believed in him, which he felt would help him reach his first ever NBA ring.
