Thanks for the insight. I can't imagine a better situation for him than Houston. Strong organization from top to bottom, and a system that fits him well.
I know this it will sound daring, but in this case I see more SF than PF potential in him, although of course I think he will be treated as a potential face-up 4 for the NBA. Good luck at trying to change his whole body, lower and upper, plus his whole approach of the game, to convert him into an NBA big man. Frankly, I see enough feet quickness in him to question if it would be harder trying to teach him habits to chase screens, defend p&r's as a wing, improve handles... than trying to transform him into a player who is not by nature. How many years and gym hours until he can just be on an NBA court as a PF? Why not trying to focus his progress and potential into a kind of poor Kevin Durant?
He is black Porzingis, would've he been from Latvia he could've gone top5 easily. He is 6'11'' and still can grow a bit since he is just 19yo, could be 7'0''+ potentially. He needs the same program as DMo had to add 20+ pounds (without losing quickness) and put in a lot of hard-work in the weight-room. I think he has a lot to prove now that he went undrafted due concerns about his work-ethic. I think our guys should push him to work hard...
If only we can suit 20 players ... Dwight has to watch out, we may already have his replacement. Just wait 2-3years

No relation to former Rocket David Wood, I guess. That guy was the best ever at getting his man to throw a punch at him. He had a magical ability to get the other guy to loose his cool.
