He is in NY. He's got potential to be a really good player but the Unicorn nickname is beyond outrageous. He's basically doing what Bargnani did(slightly better) early in his career before it imploded. The situation with the Knicks isnt helping matters either.
Goddamn you hate Porzingis too?!?

He's the better rebounder. Efficiency numbers are pretty similar. Again it's unfair to judge him with Melo and Rose there....but the fawning of Porzingis in NY when the team is comically bad is crazy.

He's a elite rim protector that alone sets him aside from most stretch big men.

Who said anything about hate? The premise of the thread is accurate though. He's a marketable star in NY but the on court production to date hasn't come near that. Volume shooters with weak to average efficiency and nothing else hardly contributes to actually...winning basketball games.

He's in his 2nd year! What in the hell were you expecting from him?

If you feel the team around him sucks don't take that out on him. You'd be hard pressed to find a better sophomore in the league and that's not good enough? You're forgetting how far ahead of schedule he really is in his development

Fair enough. He's a big that shoots 3's. If he's a guy you want to build around he needs to do a lot more. Rebound, pass, etc. Things that contribute to winning
