Top post up creators including passes on at least 100 Post ups
A porzingis post up is roughly 140 ortg, which makes it a more efficient play than a transition opportunity for the league's best transition teams. In fact, of any specific play with more then 140 reps, a porzingis post up is THE most efficient play in the nba, second being Curry coming off a screen and third a Kawhi Iso.
He is WRECKING stuff. Ofc plays like Kawhi isos or curry coming off screens are much easier to get to, since the Celtics have to do all the work of getting the switch and making a successful entry pass etc whereas a Kawhi iso is just give the ball to kawhi and clear out.
Still though, an absolutely insane weapon. These stats include passes made from the post ups so that's why they are different (more complete) than those from NBA.com. Also of note that an insane 27% of Porzingis post up result in a foul drawn, an absolutely nuts rate.
This tidbit is from Jared Dubin's substack:
"KP is routinely devouring teams that guard him with smaller players either in the post or when they try to switch pick and rolls. In fact, he has been the single-most efficient scorer this season both from the post (1.58 points per possession), and on pick-and-roll switches when he gets the ball (1.63), according to Second Spectrum."

Thanks for this.
Is it possible to check PPP for White-KP and Tatum-KP PnR, including passes?

Yes, Jokic is the basketball genius of their generation. But KP (with AD, f'sure) up there for being transcendent bigs of that age group.

Agreed. Porzingis is honestly exactly the guy we needed on this team. Players like Rob Williams were just "good enough replacements" for the most part.

He and Jaylen should host their own podcast together, I know JB hasn't had a great past month, but he also (least as far as I can ascertain living afar in Australia) has not seem as settled or happy to be in Boston since he was drafted (Max contract aside, I get the impression he enjoys KP and his unique/quirky sense of humour)
I do wish refs could take care better of Zinger in the paint. He gets hacked so much..
