What those two scouting reports basically say, is that Porzingis is a better shooting Jan Vesely. Both are "extremely athletic" for Euros and long. Both excel in transition. Both can guard multiple positions. Both excel on cuts to the basket Both aren't big enough physically to bang in the NBA. All of this..."allegedly" of course.
Yeah, they're pretty similar. Aside from the difference in shooting, these two scouting reports say the same thing...but worded differently.
Hey man I agree, if you take away the two biggest differences (shooting and ball-handling) they are pretty similar! Almost verbatim like you said.
And based on the 3 point shooting numbers, the shooting really isn't a huge difference. Vesely shot 46 percent in one league from 3 point range, per your stats.
You know there is more to shooting then just being able to hit an open 3 every now and then right? This is what is said about Kristap's shooting. "He’s a solid shooter, with range also from three point, showing a remarkable confidence and variety of solutions: step-back, pull-up jumper, catch and shoot are all part of his repertoire." Nowhere is anything said even remotely similar about Vesely's offense. Vesely has taken exactly 1 3 pt shot this season in euroleague and has missed it, he is also shooting 39% FT.
Aaron Gordon is shooting 47% from 3. Would you say this means that AG is some skilled shooter able to score in a variety of ways including step backs, pull ups and catch and shoot? Of course you wouldn't.
