Quote:“I always want to be aggressive and showcase what I’m capable, stretching the floor with my height and being dangerous in a lot of situations,” Porzingis said after the scrimmage. “I missed basketball. I miss competing so much. Hopefully, I can start the season the right way and showcase right away what I’m capable of.”
Porzingis would go on to score 10 points in the first five minutes.
Quote:“He’s a terrific offensive player,” Carlisle said. “And it’s obvious he’s worked extremely hard to get him back to this point. It’s got to be exciting to get out there for the first time in a long time in front of a crowd in an NBA arena. We’re early on in camp, but he continues to do extremely well.”
Quote:“I just want to connect with the people here,” he said. “It’s a new place for me. People don’t really know me. Obviously, I want my playing to talk by itself. But I also want to connect with the fans. I love doing it. It puts a smile on my face when I see all these kids asking for pictures and autographs.”
“From the places I’ve lived, I think Dallas probably has the nicest people,” Porzingis said. “People are really kind here and polite. Everybody’s smiling and everybody’s open. And that’s a very good quality that the city and people have here.”
Quote:And as for his chemistry with Doncic?
“We’re trying to develop that,” he said. “We’re working on that. We already have a connection off the court. We know each other. We speak Spanish. And so on. That will help us create good chemistry on the floor. And we’re both young, we both like to run and attack and be aggressive. We’re going to help each other so much on the court.”
