Kristaps Porzingis

"“Playing in the relatively obscure shadows of Latvia it is no small surprise that few fans outside of the country know Kristaps Porzingis but scouts and general managers know him quite well. Well enough in fact that Porzingis could be a mid-lottery selection. He performed so well for Baloncesto Sevilla at the Liga ACB that he was selected as a touring “all-younger” MVP.  So large perhaps is the NCAA tourney shadow that few may be able to see that he is actually an adept ball handler who can bring the ball up court.  He can also run the wing on a fast break and finish. The pro scouts and GM’s are interested and impressed with his excellent ability to grab boards and many realize this potential workhorse is NBA bound.” Next: Trey Lyles"
