Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis unleashes monster putback vs. Bucks image

We’re only a week into the NBA season, but now might be a good time to jump on the Kristaps Porzingis bandwagon.

The 20-year-old rookie from Latavia has given the Madison Square Garden crowd thrills with several rim-rattling jams, especially this putback in the third quarter Friday against the Bucks.

There was much speculation as to how NBA-ready the foreign big man would be after he was selected as the fourth-overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. It's safe to say Porzingis has silenced those questions early in his rookie season.

Porzingis finished with 14 points and 13 rebounds Friday.
