Porzingis highlights

Yeah, I think Porzingis is better than many are giving him credit for. He really can give you some of everything you want from a big. Clogs the lane on defense, rebounds, can score from anywhere on the floor, good enough passer that he keeps the defense honest.
I think he is also ready emotionally or in terms of maturity to assume a role on a good team and try to win. He is saying all the right things. He didn't want to be traded to DAL, he didn't want to be in WAS. But he wants to be in BOS. I think he understands that this is his moment, a three year (at least) run with a young, title contending team.
I think Porzingis is a great addition. Exactly what we needed most. A lot still needs to go right for him and for the team to win a title, but it is hard not be be optimistic given our pieces (well, it does seem to be hard to be optimistic for many, I guess).
