Is the grind of the NBA starting to get to him?

Porzingis wasn't much help during the Knicks losing streak. It finally ended on Saturday against Portland but Porzingis played no role in snapping the skid, scoring 0 points and only grabbing 3 rebounds and turning the ball over twice.

In his last 3 games, he is averaging 5.6 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. Only 1 game above 20 points this month. He is starting to fade, as predicted. I think NBA teams are starting to adjust to his game and plan for him, as well as the grind of the NBA is wearing him down. I think the Knicks should sit him for a while so he can regain his bearings or confidence or this could snowball and just make things worse for not just his career but the whole team.

I think we were too quick to anoint him rookie of the year. He may well go down the path of Darko and become a Top 5 draft bust.

People are overreacting for ROY, but you're not whenever you say he's the next Darko after a couple games?

You think it was too quick to say he was having a really good year but not too quick to say he'll have an all-time awful career relative to his draft position?

I ask this sincerely, are you legitimately retarded?

He's going to be great I'm sure that he's essentially already played a "full season" in regards to the grind of the NBA versus the "Lativian" league he was playing in.

You are such a hack.

Let's find 3 games where he hasn't played well, and declare a prediction correct. We could do that for almost any player for any 3 game stretch.

He's averaging 13.3 points and shooting at 49% for the month of December (7 games) despite those 3 poor games. But of course a hack, only chooses the few games that fits their narrative.

GoldenNugget, you need to work on your trolling.
