Is it fair to say that Porzingis is the best draft pick for the Knicks since Patrick Ewing?

"Yes, I would say yes," said Stugotz, to "Armen and Levack", on 104.5 The Team. "He’s the best thing the Knicks have had since Patrick Ewing.

"If you combine it with Carmelo Anthony, it seems to have reinvigorate Carmelo here. I’ve been pleasantly surprise with how great Porzingis has been and the solid play of the Knicks, as a team, through the first [15 games] here.

"Can you imagine what [Porzingis] going to look like in two or three years? He’s afforded the opportunity to play because he landed on a really bad team … but clearly the kid is ready to play and ready to play right now."

Is Porzingis good enough o take this Knicks team from their worst season ever to a playoff team in 2016?

"In a weak Eastern conference … they should be a playoff team, when you have Carmelo, Porzingis, and I think the rest of the roster is pretty solid. Now you have two stars, this team should be a playoff team this year."
