too white

Because he's dropping to the warriors.

slow and mediocre defender. He's projected to be a Ryan Anderson type player while the guys above him have superstar potential.

Remember the early/mid 2000's when everybody wanted the get the next Dirk?

They just don't seem to pan out like everyone thinks they will. Outside of KP and Dirk, has any euro 7 footer who can shoot actually made an all star impact on his team?

Pau Gasol

Marc Gasol as well. Easily a top 5 center.

Marc Gasol isn't at all like Dirk or this Finnish guy. Pau is more similar but he couldn't stretch the floor like Dirk. The only truly comparable player to Dirk since he was drafted is Porzingis.

Gasol has added a three-pointer to his game and it's actually pretty fucking good for a center. He shot 28% from deep last season. Sure he doesn't have a fadeaway like Dirk, but neither does Porzingis. At least, not yet.

38%*

>>76681917
Dirk has a CAREER 3P% of .381, topping out at .421 in 09-10. Porzingis has a career 3P% of .346, topping out at .357 last year. Both have average about 3-4 threes taken a game throughout their careers, while Pau has never taken more than about 1.5 per game, and only has two seasons even attempting more than 1 on average. He's been fine in small sample sizes, but it's not really the same.
