Kristaps Porzingis showed off his incredible awareness by slamming home a missed shot by Robin Lopez.
The legend of New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis continues to grow every game.
The Knicks rookie has shown incredible awareness for a rookie and his heads up instincts are impressive for a first-year player. Not only can he shoot, dunk and create highlights every night of the week, he can also pick up his teammates with big plays on the court.
After Robin Lopez missed a short shot near the hoop with Milwaukee Bucks defenders draped over him, Porzingis slammed home the missed shot while hanging in the air for an impressive slam.

Just look at the incredible focus of Porzingis as he follow the ball all the way into his hand. Then the balance to be able to put it back in is something that resembles a superstar play on the court.
Porzingis is well on his way to be a future superstar in the league with the way he is able to adapt to the pro level and his ability to be aware of where the ball is at all times.
Many young players will race back down the field after a teammate misses, but Porzingis had the presence of mind to follow the ball all the way.
That’s a sensational rookie out there on the court.
