NBA Draft: How good is Kristaps Porzingis?

The best thing to happen to sports since…

Everyone seems to agree that Kentucky’s Karl-Anthony Towns and Duke’s Jahlil Okafor will be the first two picks in the 2015 NBA Draft, but there are some intriguing players who are certainly worth keeping an eye on. Ohio State point guard D’Angelo Russell and 19-year-old point guard Emmanuel Mudiay both look like they could be stars, but don’t sleep on international forward Kristaps Porzingis. The 19-year-old Latvian looks like he could be the real deal.

Porzingis is listed at around 7-feet and 220 pounds. He plays like a stretch four with the ability to create off the dribble as well as shoot from the perimeter.
