2015 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Kristaps Porzingis
By Somers Price
What They’re Saying:
"“I love his face-up game. He’s got that mid-range shot. I’ve seen a lot of tape where he plays against guys like Shaq [O’Neal], a guy he can’t bang inside with. So faces up, does his little step-back move … Amazing.”-Kevin Garnett in an interview with Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski “Most of the international guys that busted didn’t love the game…They failed because of a lack of passion and work ethic. It was convenient for them to come over and make a lot of money. Zinger’s more in the Dirk mode, in that you can’t get him out of the gym. He’s also more in the Gasol mode, because he’s so skilled.”-Former NBA Assistant coach Scott Roth in an interview with ESPN’s Chad Ford"
Word around PCOM is Sam Hinkie is basically head over heels about Kristaps Porzingis. He's my bet for who they select third overall.
