He plays exactly like Al Hortford but with a little more 3 point shooting

Rasheed Wallace after going without food for five days and no post-up game?
Michael Jordan, but six inches taller with a worse handle, worse speed, worse lateral movement, worse defense, better three point shot, worse at taking contact, and worse potential.

As you can see Porzingis and Gasol look quite alike, Gasol being a bit better, he was playing in a much better team though and his minutes were mainly as a SF, while porzingis plays PF mainly. Gasol's development during the year was amazing, while Porzingis is been kind of consistent through the year.
The key difference is that Pau's team won the Spanish National Cup and Pau was named MVP. Kristap's team was fighting for relegation all season.
Yes, and the position they played, Gasol was mainly having minutes at SF, he was way better at the end of the season, in the link you can check his numbers for Play-offs (41% from 3pt range or 0.84 value per minute to start with), just amazing. My opinion is that you can expect some kind of big improvement from Porzingis during next 1-2 years, then you have an all-star PF, if he does not improve that much, then you have a decent rotation big.
Gasol did not have a polished post game at all when he was drafted, he developed it in Memphis. I see Porzingis having a similar development, I would take him for sure after the 6th pick. Porzingis at this point is a great prospect of Face Up PF, he can bust the same Towns or Okafor can, these two won't be available after the first 2 picks.

He's no-where near as intelligent and skilled as Pau, who was a supreme passer and decision maker.
Porzingis lack of BBIQ raises serious question marks for me.
