Dude moves around like KG in his workout. So quick and nimble given his size. A little lightweight obviously, but he can make it work to his advantage. Would be good to see him get to at least 250lbs so he can muscle his way in there.
Durant ain't exactly the heaviest guy, but he uses his leverage well and is one of the strongest guys at his position. Hopefully he can do the same with his slightly more nimble and thinner frame.
He's soft and can't exactly create his own shot even at the minor league level. Sure, he has an outside stroke and impressive motor skills to comes with his size . When push comes to shove, you better hope he's not a typical Euro that shy away from contacts.

Let's not get carried away. KG is probably the most fluid, coordinated and athletic 4 ever. Guy moved like a guy about 6'5". Porz can move for a 7 footer but nothing that resembles KG.
I watched some of his Euro highlights and most of it is him spotting up and shooting or altering shots down low. He is very thin. If he gets pushed around down low, that is an issue.
He does look like his shot is legit though. He's got rare traits for a big like touch, coordination, light feet and good athleticism. He should be a rim protector to some extent. But right now, he looks raw. What more can he add to his game to be more than just a spot up shooter and decent rim protector? But he is definitely a VERY intriguing prospect. He's got a high ceiling.

Shy away from contact? The guy is an aggressive SOB when it comes to dunking the ball.
My favorite prospect in the draft after Towns.

KG had a handle. This dude? I really didn't see that. Is he another Bargs with better defensive awareness?

No it won't his draft stock was boosted from his workouts already. This stuff is just for posters here who get boners with height and photo images.

How big was Darko?
Ever since him, I just tend to assume Euros are more busts than steals.

Good college starter

There have been some decent/good ones come out the last couple of years. The Toronto guy (V whatever not going to spell)... and the Orlando kid (Vu whatever)....

Yeah Valacanius (sp?) and Vucevic (think I got that one right) are good. There are others as well.
Bargs was a #1 pick and he's crap. Bogut was a #1 pick (although not a Euro) and he's been decent.
In 2010 Al-Farouq Aminu was the 8th pick. K

Verticle?
Re: Porzingis was measured 7'1.25" without shoes + 7'6" wingspan
What is it with people shitting on Euros?
Some of the best big men today are Euros. Vucevic, Jonas, Nowitzki, Gortat, Bogut (Croatian), Gasol, Marc Gasol, Asik, Kanter, Ibaka, Mozgov... Forgot about Pekovic too.
Am I missing something? What is it with Euros getting shit on? Half of these guys are some of the toughest and most physical players in the league.

How many times does this same crap have to be explained here in this forum? Some of you clowns get told the same things about a thousand times, and you STILL can't grasp it.
