Why Kristaps Porzingis was a legendary draft prospect

Kristaps Porzingis proved himself to be an elite big man during the Boston Celtics 2023-24 NBA season. The stretch-five revolutionized the Celtics style of play and carved open additional space around the perimeter for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to thrive. Unfortunately for Porzingis, he suffered two injuries during the postseason, limiting his ability to impact the Celtics run to the NBA Finals.

Nevertheless, when he returns to the rotation at some point next season, following his recovery from surgery, Porzingis will likely remind everyone why he’s such a significant swing factor for the Celtics’ chances of championship success. 

In a recent YouTube video by draft expert Ben Pfeifer, he dives into why Porzingis was a legendary draft prospect and how his skill set is always projected to make him an elite NBA talent if he fulfilled his potential.
