Porzingis is the best gamble in terms of landing the 2nd best player in the draft. Moreso than Mudiay imo

These aren't problems with Porzingis. Bargs with a good work ethic would likely have been a much better player. |

Scouts from lots of teams have been following him all season- he isn't just a flash in the pan, they have a wealth of data on him, that likely they will be trawling through following the workout. |

How many good Euro big men have there been very few. Euro bigs are serviceable at best and no way Prozingis should be considered so high. Anyone wanna make a bet with me that AT BEST he becomes another Bargnani? |

I'll take that bet....I dont think he would even be that good. Bargs right now will give you what this guy woukd give you. And bargs is past his prime. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.
The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

If he goes to a team looking for him to be there franchise player then he may end up struggling. If he goes to a team that has some young talent already and he is apart of the equation then he could probably shine in a few yrs. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

It could effect it. Nothing is set in stone though obviously. Reduced expectations and patience in development usually work better then the opposite though. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

Bargs can defend NBA Centers. It'll be years before we see this kid able to defend big like Bargs. Bargs may not be much of a help defender but he's one of the better man defenders at center. He was able to do that from early on. People just never paid attention to that part of his game because of his horrendous help defense.

At 19 he played in the 2nd best league in the world. On his team he was 2nd in PPG, 2nd in rebounding and 1st in blocked shots. He was named rising star of that league --- the kid can play when he's not in the back-yard. |

Are you sure? From what some are saying around here, I had assumed that he was a Latvian volleyball player until 6 months ago.

Im sure you're also 19 years old 7-1 220 with a 7-6 wingspan and a 37 inch vertical and while the C on your team resembles George Constanza he is actually playing against other high quality 7 footers.

I am on this boat. I want Porzingis for the 4th pick. Now I am worried that he will get picked and end up with Russell.
