With the fourth overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks select Kristaps Porzingis out of Latvia.
Position: Power Forward/Center
School: International (Latvia)
Measurables: 7’0”, 220 lbs.
Analysis:
Porzingis would’ve been a first round pick in the draft if he would’ve come out last year, but decided to wait another year to improve his game. The seven-footer has emerged as one of the more offensively polished big men in this draft, but teams want to see him be more physical. He has all of the offensive skill you could want in a big man and is a good shotblocker - the only concern is his weight and lack of strength, which can be improved upon quickly.
