bump :evil:

While everyone has been pretty down on KP lately (Well, not only KP. down on the whole team. :lol: ), his last 10 games numbers are actually quite good.

21PPG, 6RPG, 1.2APG, 1.1SPG. 2.5BPG, 1TOV.

16 field goal attempts per game on 45/45/75 shooting.

Of course, rebounding could be better. And he tried to pass in some of those games. (and didn't in others :D )

Just wanted to bring up how he bounced back from his horrendous stretch after his ankle injury.

Before those 10 games listed above, he had those numbers in 12 games:

20PPG, 7.3RPG, 1.3APG, 0.6SPG. 2.7BPG, 2.2TOV.

19 FIeld goal attempts per game on 36/33/75 shooting.

I thought Porzingis played VERY well last night. The "fantasy numbers" might be modest BUT decision making and commitment to play defense was all there.

I think he's starting to realize he's not that 30 PPG he (and we all) thought he was in those first 10 or so games. Tried to do too much for a while and was banged up but he's since scaled it back and it's really been working well. In his last 10 games he's shot below 40% one time (.389) and above 50% 3 times. In the 10 before that he shot below 40% 6 times and above 50% once (11-22).

He'll become a consistent high-20s scorer but needs a couple more years to get there.
