NBA Draft: Who is Kristaps Porzingis

Brett’s Take

"Porzingis’ skill set will enable him to thrive at the 4-spot, and he has the mobility that he could stay there for his entire career if he never does add the necessary bulk to body up NBA centers. At just 220 pounds, he is far too thin to body up on the blocks, but he may never have to. Porzingis, aside from his strength limitations, also has no back to the basket game to speak of. What he lacks there, he makes up for with coordination and athleticism, neither of which are necessarily synonymous with a player of his size. He shoots the ball well from the mid-range, which will bode well in pick-and-pop plays."
