[b]Can Porzingis be the second-best player on a title team?[/b]
Porzingis played the best 13 games of his basketball career not in New York during his All-Star season, but in Dallas earlier this year. From Jan. 31 to March 6, he averaged nearly 28 points with a True Shooting nearing 65 percent. (That’s about eight points over the league average.) Look, singling out 13 games is cherrypicking at its finest. It would be obnoxious to pretend otherwise. But the point I want to make is that Porzingis has played better basketball for stretches in Dallas than he ever did in New York.
