Then why’d you draft him?
You have to love the Knicks. No matter when or where, there always seems to be drama surrounding the team.
Now the person who drafted Kristaps Porzingis with the fourth overall pick in this years draft, has some worries, and maybe second guessing himself.
Phil Jackson recently told ESPN.com that Porzingis maybe too tall, and can run into trouble like playing in the post like former NBA player Shawn Bradley.
“Like Shawn Bradley, who was nevertheless a pretty good player, Porzingis might almost be too tall for the game,” Jackson said of the 7-foot-3 prospect. “What I mean is that his core strength might never be good enough, and that he might not be able to get low enough to get himself into prime defensive position to body power rebounders or drivers.”
I don’t know if the Zen Master is “zenned out” because I can’t tell what he’s trying to say. Porzingis is so tall, that he isn’t strong? He’s the next Shawn Bradley? There are question marks? Considering the Knicks pay Phil a hefty salary of $12 million a year, I feel like he should be pretty certain when it comes to things like this, but maybe not.
Stay tuned.
