It's just not rim numbers though.  How is he as a team defender?   How does he handle the top of the key stuff that is now so critical for centres?  And I don't know the answer to that, I am sure some that watch more closely than me have better answers on that.   After watching guys like Marc Gasol dominate defensively and analytically this is probably more important than rim protection.

In retrospect Andrea Bargnani is the JV version of Porzingis.  Like Porzingis, Bargnani was actually a good defender in the post at times and had good analytics in this regard.
Porzingis doesn't rebound much - Bargnani never got a rebound in his life
Porzingis doens't play with much passion or heart it seems at times - Bargnani has no heart.
Porzingis spreads the 3 by shooting a lot of 3's at a decent rate - Bargnani sort of spread the floor by shooting a lot of 3's at a not so decent rate.
Porzingis doesn't appear to be a great team defender.   Bargnani was the dumbest team defender, and that was before it mattered as much as it does today.

Just an excuse to rag on Andrea Bargnani as I am annoyed to see the Clippers win.
