All-Star

A 7-foot stretch big and elite rim deterrent, Porziņģis swatted 1.2 shots a night with top-of-the-league rim-protection and ball-security marks across an injury-shortened 32-game, two-team season. He poured in 16.7 on a 27.3% usage but the floor-spacing dipped (33.8% from three); now an unrestricted free agent, his availability is the perennial question.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played.
