Porzingis or Whiteside

[Real14]

Which one is tha better player?

I pick Porzingis.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Right now, Whiteside. Provides better defense, scores more, more blocks, more rebounds... not even really a debate

In like 2 years, I think Porzingis will be better though. He's more offensively skilled

Kobe

Porzingis can shoot the 3, has a nice jumper and can shoot hook shots with BOTH hands. In just 13 games in the NBA at 20 years old.

Whiteside is better today because of his great rim protection but in a year, maybe two it'll be Porzingis no contest.

[FKAri]

I really hope Porzingis doesn't get injured man. I also hope Embid comes back. Don't want to be robbed of greatness.

[pastis]

porzingis.. prozingis can develop into a franchise player. tha means, scoring consistently over 20 points while being the focus by the opponents defense. the go to guy.

whiteside will be a very good defensive anchor, but i dont see him taking over the games on offense and becoming a real franchise player.

give me prozingis all day. he also has the potential becoming an all-defense player as well

[masonanddixon]

Porzingis. This is a joke of a comparison.

One guy has defensive potential with no offensive talent, the other has elite offensive and defensive potential.

[bdreason]

Long term give me Porzingis. Don't forget that Whiteside is a major headcase.

Long term give me Porzingis. Don't forget that Whiteside is a major headcase.

How so?

[OmniStrife]

One is a potential all-star.
The other is a GOD.

[Akrazotile]

i'll go with the white side, rather than whiteside.

but it's close.

[Akrazotile]

How so?

Ya serious?

[aj1987]

Long term give me Porzingis. Don't forget that Whiteside is a major headcase.

One has played decently in like 10 games and the other one is definitely making the All-Defensive team and will be an All-Star as well.

You guys do realize that Whiteside is only 26 and that he doesn't really rely upon his athleticism, right?

KP might end up having a much better career, but without hindsight and right now, I'd take Whiteside in a heartbeat.

[Dresta]

People have some kind of natural bias against Whiteside, maybe because he wasn't a high pick, or because he came out of nowhere. What he is doing this season is unprecedented since Mutombo or D-Rob, but you wouldn't think it, based on how he is evaluated. Last season it was all 'just wait till teams scout and plan for him blablabla, this is a flash in the pan, not his actual ability, and his numbers will fill off' - now that teams are planning excessively for him, and he's still dominating it's 'he not got offensive game' and 'he's already in his prime - he won't improve' despite his still being a very inexperienced NBA player.

Meanwhile, Porzingis is an out-and-out born stud after a dozen game sample size. Dat logic

[FKAri]

Y'all didn't answer me. How is he a headcase? I don't really know of his past issues. Thought I vaguely remember there were issues which is why his draft stock dropped.
