I think Ibaka is most realistic comparision for him, they share many of the same strenghts and weaknesses. Thier ACB league stats are also pretty similar as well.

- good helps defenders, shot-blockers
- not as good in man defense
- reliable mid-range shooters with range out to the 3-point line
- can finish above the rim
- not adept at creating shots from themselves

Obviously Porzingis is longer and better passer, while Ibaka is stronger. Is that enough to make him a Top 3 pick. I am not sure, depends how you project Russell and Okafor.

that's a good comparison that I thought of too, they both share a lot of the same qualities.

Except... Kristaps doesn't really have any guard skills.. Just shooting

Guy basically has Davis history. Started as PG and grew in to big guy.
I would not spew anything before you are 100% about the information.
But this is realgm. One DX video gives enough insight and history of a player, that you become instant expert.


So one DX video gave you the idea that he has great guard skills?
