Thaddeus Young on why Kristaps Porzingis is dominating the game this season: Melo’s not there

Thaddeus Young talked about Kristaps Porzingis and what changed in the game of the Latvian compared to the his first two seasons in the NBA.
Porzingis scored 40 points in Knicks’ win to Pacers 108-101.

And Young was one of the defenders on the Unicorn.

Per NY Daily News, But like most of Porzingis’ opponents these days, Young was absolutely torched on Sunday night by the new and improved 22-year-old. So what’s the difference?
“Melo’s not there,” Young told the Daily News after his Pacers were upended by the Knicks, 108-101. “So he’s going to get the ball 10 or 15 more times per game. Anytime a guy sees the ball that much, the rim just gets bigger.”
