    Thought the same thing. Also his progression seems very Yao-ish too.


    Prozingus= White Yao

    In some aspects he has some similarities with Yao. But Kristaps is so much more fluid, mobile and athletic. It's really unprecedented. I can't think of another 7'3+ guy who was so coordinated and could move like he does. Maybe prime Ralph Sampson or young pre-injuries Sabonis? But that's about it, and even those examples are a bit of a reach. It's so rare to keep those attributes when you get to that height.

    I mean... This is not a 6-9, or 6-10, or 6-11, or even a 7'0 guy doing it... He's 7'3...
