#26 on the Big Board
Grade: Top 25-30 Pick
Strengths: Porzingis is a stretch 4-5 prospect who’s best attribute as a basketball player is his shooting ability. He can catch and shoot, excels in pick and pop situations. Does a very good job setting his feet and shooting from range off of screens as well. He flashes a decent turnaround jumper from the mid-post area.
Weaknesses: Porzingis is rail thin and not a guy who likes to bang in the paint. He has little to no game with his back to the basket. He’s a limited athlete, doesn’t finish over the top of length and is too weak to finish through contact. Doesn’t get to the foul line. This kid is far from being NBA ready and I know some say he’s a top ten talent, but I don’t think he’s a top 20 talent.
