2015 NBA Mock Draft: Where will D’Angelo Russell fall?

<p>When you look at Kristaps Porzingis work within an offense, it’s hard not to love the guy. He can shoot well from mid range and even has a few razzle-dazzle post moves that would confuse solid defenders in the NBA. Something tells me this guy is going to be different from most of the foreign prospects before him, but another side of me realizes that he is severely underweight to be successful under the basket in the NBA.</p> <p>At seven-feet tall and 220 pounds soaking wet, Porzingis is basically a walking stick. He is going to need to put on another 30 pounds or so if he wants to find any sort of success against the likes of any Eastern Conference post defender. I’m imaging Timofey Mozgov eat Porzingis alive on the boards and not allow him anywhere near the basket, where he is most effective in Europe.</p> <p>He is still worth the risk at No. 5 overall for the Magic, but they should be very weary when trying to develop this foreign big man. He comes with a risk, and that is something they should consider before jumping the gun.</p>. PF/C. Latvia. Kristaps Porzingis. 5. player. 38
