Is kristaps porzingis elite?

Nah, overrated.

He's in that realm below elite, I say. KAT is elite, but Zing is like, 18/8/5 and that's great, but not A+.

Not yet. But soon. He's hindered by the fact that he isn't played enough as a rim defender on defense. He often has to close out instead of boxing out so his rebounding numbers aren't where they should be for someone of his size. His post game needs work and he needs to put on a little muscle to bang down low with NBA 5's.

A lot of this will be helped if Frank N. can defend multiple positions on defense effectively. KP's breakout year is coming.

I think if he manages to sustain the level of production that we saw from him in the first few months of last season we can start to classify him as elite.

He will make the leap in his third season. His biggest problem is his weight, he can't match the big guys 4u.

Most people consider Harden, Westbrook, Kyrie, IT and Kyrie to be elite

I really want to believe this, but I'm starting have worries he's going to just fizzle out as a mid level player at best with a good 3pt.

He's gonna have to gain at least twenty pounds. He gets mostly compared to Dirk who was 7'0 and 245 whereas Porzingis is 7'3 240

He could be, but not yet. Right on the cusp depending on how this season plays out.
