Update on the weekly games of Hezonja and Porzingis...
Hezonja started for Barcelona today and played 21 mins in a win vs FIATC Juventut. Hezonja finished with 16 pts(5/8FG, 4/7 3P FG, 2/2 FT), 5rbs, 1 ast, 2 stl, 2to.
Porzingis started for Sevilla and played 26 mins. Finished with 9pts(3/8 FG, 0/2 3P FG, 3/3 FT), 7 rbs, 1 ast, 2 stl, 1bl...
Here's highlights from Sevilla's win. Porzingis with some impressive athletic dunks, but also you can see him struggling off the ball in defense. He loses his man several times:

Sounds like another impressive game from Hezonja... he's definitely growing on me.

Might want to go to the doctor toget that looked at.
Looks like a steal at #8 ...
If he can hit that 3pt shot consistently... wow.

OK, here's a full half with Porzingis off the bench. He has shown the willingness to play defense, can guard out to the 3pt line (1 on 1 against a PG he was mobile enough to chased after him for a nice block), very mobile. He's also very mobile on offense, setting picks, handling the ball, passing, etc. Had a nice alleyoop, had a nice off the dribble drive (was fouled), rebounded in traffic (fouled), knocking down FTs like it's his 2nd nature.
Overall, he seems very smart both on offense and defense. Compared to Kanter, Porzingis is much more mobile, quicker, more athletic, much better on defense with long arms. By my count he had 2 blocks in the half, utilising his quickness, defensive hustle & long arms. Reads the game well, a willing passer. Comfortable shooting the 3pt shot which could only get better with time & training.

It's really REALLY impressive that Hezonja has kept his minutes and is now even starting for Barcelona after they got all their injured players back. He's made some serious strides with his play this season.
Porzingis has a ton of potential but his body frame bothers me. The more I see him play the more worried I am that he simply doesn't have a position he can guard in the NBA. He's not fast enough to guard 3s and he's not strong enough to guard 4s and I am really skeptical that any of those can change. Even though, he's been having some good games lately, his stock with me has gone down in the last month.
Name all the current NBA 4s that play bully ball.

personally I want porzingis to move up the board and hezonja to move down. hezonja is who I want if we can't get Johnson.
