NBA 2K17: 10 Players Who Should Get A Stat Boost
2. Kristaps Porzingis - New York Knicks
An almighty furore began when Kristaps Porzingis was drafted by the long-suffering New York Knicks last year. To say the reaction was scathing would be an understatement, as the young Latvian was heavily booed by his own fans. This may have factored into his lowly 74 NBA 2K16 rating.
Porzingis vowed to change opinion, and set about doing exactly that. He has since proved himself a very capable scorer, rebounder, and outside shooter - drawing comparisons to fellow European Pau Gasol.
Although finishing second to Karl-Anthony Towns in Rookie of the Year standings, Porzingis overcame a torrent of negativity in his debut season, and should see his stock rise in the virtual realm too.
