Kristaps Porzingis Workout Video from today

Only thing idk is how 'sponge worthy' Porzingis is (to torture a Seinfeld-ian metaphor) -- like, how well can KP take to NBA offense and defense? Systems? Play calling? I ask this bc his "feel for the game" has been questioned at times by scouts/wanna be scouts (hint: @gumarik), even though his reactions, length, and athleticism made up for missed opportunities, that lack of experience/polish leaves much to be desired.

There's the question of body maturity: bc KP's so thin, there's a notion he will stay that way but his frame is one that is broad shoulders and will fill out v.well, ala Joakim Noah or Kevin Durant.

I'm in love with how he handles, then puts the ball on the floor, and launches up to shoot! Just great!

As an aside/foreshadowing...thing...I'd be scared if LAL draft KP, though. bc that means Mitch and player dev have miscommunicated and Mitch is doing knee jerk reactions based on fear-over-logic, which will lead to LAL continuing this road of letting young assets develop and not return to LAL (see Bazemore, Ariza, McRoberts, Dunleavy, etc) over favoring the 'homerun FA' period(s). More than likely, the first to go would be Clarkson in RFA - if, indeed, that's the case...but Jeanie might fire everyone and plant new staff positions before that pattern arises, again. But, the pattern will arise again bc she wont have the guts to fire her own bro, which is the opposite of what one might want bc Mitch is actually a really boss GM.

It hurts to think so negatively, but I've seen the future and that's what will happen if LAL draft KP. Using the slippery slope logic blueprint. :P

tl;dr Just fucking read my rant, ass! lol
