I want him to succeed. A lot of people do.
But quite honestly, the kid is not very good. Not a consistent shooter, can't take a bunch of contact and finish plays consistently, gun-shy, kind of soft, etc.
Maybe he will develop, but I don't get the hype.

So he hasn't been consistently and completely dominant throughout his first dozen NBA games, and because of this his hype is confusing to you?
COME ON man. Youre BETTER than that.

Not including tonight, he is averaging 13 and 8 and a block a game.
Not too bad for such a youngster.

You are right, he's not good. However, I do think that he has enormous talent. Originally Posted by stalkerforlife

However, his talent is tremendous, and I would have taken him #1 in the draft. That being said, he's been hugely overrated ever since Draftexpress started their go to NBA hype gimmick marketing shtick nonsense (that most people outside of USA have been laughing at for years because it is so ridiculous) on him last year.
It's all manufactured by sports and marketing agencies and ESPN and the NBA play along. It's all the same typical bullshit hype and marketing.
He's a great talent, he should have been drafted #1 (but was not because the racist NBA won't draft a Nordic guy #1), and at the same time, he's enormously overrated, over hyped, and getting all this Jeremy Lin, Ricky Rubio, Nikola Mirotic, etc. type of endless bullshit nonsense from the morons in US sports media that just repeat like parrots whatever sports marketing agencies and NBA profiteers tell them.

His shooting may be poor at 43.9 eFG% but he is solid all around and that is reflected in his 17.9 PER.

No it isn't. It's the nutcases of the media (like ESPN) and marketing world (the sports agents), along with the corporate psychopaths (like NBA and their sponsor partners) that are as always making up shit that is not true, and making morons (NBA only fans) believe it. Originally Posted by FKAri

It's actually called this ---> brainwashing.

Re: It's fun to hype up Porzingis, but he isn't that good...
The biggest thing is you can tell he has the right attitude to maximize his talents.
He might not necessarily ever be a guy who drops huge numbers on a regular basis (although maybe he will, who knows).
But just the overall matchup nightmare he presents will make him HUGELY valuable to any team. He might not be a guy that's gonna carry a bad team. But add him to a solid team, and he could easily be a championship caliber difference maker eventually.
