De’Anthony Melton compares Kristaps Porzingis impact to Spurs’ Wemby

De’Anthony Melton likened the Golden State Warriors adding Kristaps Porzingis to the advantage the San Antonio Spurs have with Victor Wembanyama, pointing to the matchup problems a uniquely skilled big man creates.

“He’s a matchup nightmare for a lot of teams. You see with the Spurs, you have Wemby, who’s 7-a lot, and the stuff he can do and the matchup nightmares he brings to the table.

“So I think (Porzingis being) out there, it’s just going to give us a lot of size and a lot of mismatches that we need. Some teams he’s gonna kill just cause they can’t physically match up with him.”

Porzingis has played 10 seasons for 5 teams, including the Mavericks and Knicks. He has averaged 19.6 points and 7.7 rebounds in 518 regular-season games.

He was selected to play in 1 All-Star game, and has won 1 NBA championship.
