Can’t believe it but the Magic might be dipping their feet into the international prospect pool in the 2015 draft. Every Magic fan has a bad taste in their mouths from Fran Vasquez. I have a three part question in regards to Mario Henzjo and Kristpas Porzingas.
1. What is the contract buyout situation with both players. Can they come over right away and do they want to come over right away.
2. What is your opinion of each players ceiling and floor.
3. Do you think Mario can play small forward in the NBA? I’ve read he’s kinda a combo wing
I think at this point I’m higher on Super Mario because Of Porzingas body type “looks like he could be blown away from a strong gust of wind let alone having someone like Zac Randolph back him up in the post.” I just don’t see him ever being strong enough to not get bullied in the NBA

Tim,
hi sir, gd morning.
Could you explain in detail why Kristaps Porzingis is the best international prospect in this year’s draft? Is he a sure bet? and which team do you see is the best FIT?
David Pick,
To the naked eye, averaging 10.1 points (33.3% 3P, 51.6% 2P, and 75% 1P) and 4.7 rebounds over 21 minutes per game in the Spanish ACB league as a 19-year-old is super impressive.
I don’t think he’s the “best international prospect”, IMO Mario Hezonja is the top NBA prospect overseas.. 
Jon
Do you see Saric with all-star potential?
David Pick
Absolutely. Along with Mario Hezonja, Saric could develop into one of the top Croatians ever to play in the NBA.
David Pick
1. I’m not sure what the deal is with Porzingis, but I’d assume, like Hezonja, he could leave for the NBA if drafted. I think they’ll both come over right away if drafted.
2. I don’t like to rate those kind of stuff but Hezonja should grow into the next NBA All-Star out of Croatia.
3. Yea, I’d agree he’s more a sharp-shooting wing combo than a NBA small-forward. Re: Porzingis – LOL – that’s funny. He definitely can’t man-up against Randolph now, but his 3-ball shot is wet.

Having watched some of Mario Hezonja vs Real Madrid on NBA TV I came away really impressed. Who would you comp his game to past or present in the NBA. I hate to make race based player comps but he reminds me of a young pre injury Mike Miller.
A side note as a Celtics fan I kind of hope we draft Hezonja and resign Datome. Come on Marion and Luigi in celtics green!
David Pick
I agree that a combo like that could be sweet for the Celtics, but I’m not comparing Mario to Mike Miller. Hezonja could jump out of the building.

I need a hezonja update. Are the sixers still scouting him (please say yes)? Odds he comes over this year? Where do you think he would get picked? Are him and dario homies… Or is that just my imagination? Thanks bro
David Pick
Mario Hezonja is BALLING overseas. Are the Sixers still scouting him? Yes, along with the entire NBA.
I spoke with him about a month ago. He said he was undecided about entering the NBA and that before he leaves Europe he “wants to become a leader and win with Barcelona.” He accomplished his first goal, we’ll know of the second around May-June. I’m told though, that he’s a lock in the 2015 NBA Draft and Jonathan Givony at DraftExpress has him going at #6.
