Jeff Van Gundy is a big Kristaps Porzingis fan and sees the Knicks as a playoff team.

“I love Porzingis. I love everything about how he’s handled his situation, love his game, love his mental makeup,” Van Gundy said during a media conference call promoting ABC’s Saturday NBA games. “I think they will make the playoffs. I think they’re a really good team.”

Porzingis, who has a sore right foot, is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz at the Garden. He has started in all 43 games and is averaging 14 points and eight rebounds per game.
