In terms of breakout seasons, Porzingis is indeed having one of the best ever in NBA history. Freed of Carmelo Anthony's shadow at the Garden, the Zinger is enjoying his role as the Knicks' first option on offense.

Through the first 28 games of this season, Porzingis has led the Knicks to a respectable 8th position in the Eastern Conference with a 15-13 record. His own play has been nothing short of spectacular, as he has become one of the best two-way players in the league in his own right.
He's hoisting 19.3 shot attempts per game, making 46.5% of those looks. He is also a mean shooter from beyond the arc, averaging 40% on 6.6 attempts from downtown per game. As a 7'3" power forward, Porzingis' shooting touch coupled with his ability to finish plays above the rim make him a nightmare mismatch.
Ranking 3rd in blocks per game at 2.1, KP is on track to become the Knicks' best two-way player of this millennium. Making the All-Star game is a foregone conclusion for this 'unicorn', who is a treat to watch every time he gets the ball.
