SCOUTING REPORT
Strengths: The 19-year-old seven-footer can do it all. Porzingis has the size for a power forward, but he likes to play smaller. He has great ball-handling skills, and he can run and move laterally extremely well. Porzingis is a natural scorer, as he can shoot from anywhere. He plays quick and aggressive defense, as well.

Weaknesses: Porzingis has the skill set of a guard. His inside game is lacking NBA-level skill. He needs more effective post moves, but mostly he just needs more muscle. Porzingis will easily get pushed off the block in the NBA. He has interesting skillset, and NBA teams will be chomping at the bit to get a chance with this unique player.
