Following potential 2015 draftees

Between the Euroleague play and ACB this year, Porzingis is at 44% on 3PT percentage. Lots of high def game footage on Youtube, but no highlight videos made yet. Here are some plays from a recent game:

I think it's a high likelihood this is who we end up.
 
Well, Porzingis looks like a pretty skilled high-post big. He doesn't look like a guy you want dribbling the ball too much, but he looks like a real pain in the butt for defenders to match up with. He's kinda one of these long gangly skilled Euros like Pau Gasol who takes a long time to make a play, but there's not much you can do about it.

Can he defend out on the perimeter?
 
I remember when we were looking at Jonas Valanciunas and Donatas Montiejunas back when we drafted Kanter. Porzingis looks like a more versatile player than either of those two.
 
I like him. His stroke looks really nice... His height and length are pretty good too, and he's athletic for his size. I wish he had a wider frame so he can put some more serious muscle on it...
 
He might fill out a little, given how young he is. He needs to work on his body for sure. Is he expected to come over to the states this year or spend another year in Europe?
 
Here's a video of Barcelona vs Sevilla from last weekend:

Several high level prospects in the game - Hezonja for Barcelona, Porzingis and Hernangomez for Sevilla. I haven't seen it yet, but I will watch after the Warriors vs Rockets game is over...
 
yahoo just did a write up on porzingis. like a lot of euros great offense but lack in defense. one thing that video showed was he does not attack the boards. he would challenge the shot the just stand there. his stance is ver narrow but you can see he is thinking his way through so that was good.

it was also mentioned that he was 7-1 and still growing. does he play the center or a stretch 4. a stretch 4 like him would be devistating. can he put on muscle? can he bulk up at all?

he probably makes this draft 4 deep like what exum did last year.

I agree with pkm he seems like a player the jazz will end up with. if that happens by or trade for another pick and get lyles.

future

exum
Hayward
lyles (if he can get a 3 pt shot)
favors
Gobert

burks
hood
porzingis (just cause he will take time)
