I do think the only comparisons to Dirk are shooting and skin color. Dirk was never really a big man when it came to shot blocking and scoring at the rim. He was always a tall perimeter player. The reason the comparisons are going to be Dirk, or more accurately Porzingus, is that there really havn't been many legit seven footers that could play both ends and that were 3 point sharpshooters with other skills. There have been a few like Manute Bol that were good 3 point shooters but it somehow seemed gimmicky, if that's a word.
