How Kristaps Porzingis changes everything for the Boston Celtics

Porzingis can transform the Celtics’ style of play, particularly in terms of his shooting and how it creates spacing on the floor.

Kristaps Porzingis has already demonstrated his potential to be a game-changer for the Boston Celtics in his limited preseason appearances for Boston to date. While many focused on his drawbacks in the wake of his trade to the Celtics from the Washington Wizards, Porzingis can transform the Celtics’ style of play, particularly in terms of his shooting and how it creates spacing on the floor.

His unique skills and versatility as a scorer make him a major addition to the storied ball club, potentially elevating their offensive capabilities in particular — but also as a rim protector on the other end of the court.

However, there is a concern about Porzingis’ injury history, which poses a risk for the Celtics, especially in the playoffs.

The folks behind the “Hoops Venue” podcast put together a clip breaking down what fans can expect from Porzingis this season; check it out in the clip embedded above.
