A DrftExpr scouting "edit" and how a guy is actually used over an entire season aren't the same.

There's plenty of players that bust every year in the draft, Euro and American, I didn't see this guy being more likely to bust than anyone else, he probably has the highest ceiling of any from the draft this year.
Porzingis plays like a super tall small forward, super fluid with insane length, able to influence both sides of the floor.

I think all that matters is that a player can show they have an ability to perform a given skill set. I don't think it really matters how/how often a he or any player was used in Europe. He's in the NBA now, they have plans for him.

shouldn't have nightmares about that guy. he was already a bust, and when they got him they had almost no expectations.
Weis was selected 15th, so shouldn't have very high expectations
Danilo Gallinari 6th overall maybe? I think Knicks fans boo'd because they didn't know who he is (unlike the stars of the ncaa). they'll like him when he becomes a good player

They traded a 1st round pick for him.

The toronto sportscaster/radio clip of them announcing that is comedy gold. If I had youtube access I'd find the clip but I don't at the moment so can someone else find it?

How often does matter. How much is determined by the evaluator/franchise. Definitely matters though.

That fake ass fan. Pretending to be sad just because everyone else is. He's so sad that he has the wherewithal to take a selfie.

And sometimes bulking up only puts more strain on the body, even Kevin Durant despite being skinny has started having foot or leg problems despite being still relatively young.
I never understood this.
Yao is a great what if. But I'm sure A LOT of guys would love to have his career. If Porzingis has a career like Yao Ming then the Knicks had an awesome draft.
It is a bummer when things like what happened to Yao occur, but I bet Porzingis would consider himself a huge success if his career mirrors Yao's.
