New York Knicks. 17. team. 27. Kristaps Porzingis should be the sun that the New York Knicks orbit around. Yet, Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose are actively trying to pull the team away from him. I’m not saying the two superstars are actively trying to sabotage Porzingis, but their quest to prove that they’re still two of the better players in the NBA is casting a shadow on the growth and development of the 2016 fourth overall pick. Porzingis JUST had his first 30-plus point game of his career and looks primed to do it even more as the season continues. Anthony and Rose are not the future of this team–and they may not even be the right now either–and if the Knicks continue to let the team run through them they could be squandering the opportunity to unleash their unicorn, Porzingis. No one knows what the rest of this year will bring for New York, but if Phil Jackson is remembered for anything during his tenure as president of the Knicks it will hopefully be for drafting Porzingis and not his poor choice of words in describing LeBron James’ group of friends.. (6-7). Previous:
