LOL he is 20x better then Lance Ware. He will be the 3rd best big on the team YET he will be a 1st round pick . a 7'2 guy with an NBA body and shots 3s and blocks the crap out of the ball. Lance Ware couldn't make the NBA draft if he played another 10 years in college and I loved Ware's heart . Not sure where you got he was challenged physically as that's one of the big things he has going for him - he isn't a typical string bean . For being 7'2 he has decent bulk on him . The only knock I have read on him is he is turnover prone .There's some good write-ups by anonymous pro scouts I think on KSR or somewhere. Don't go overboard on him. He is challenged physically, they say he will be pushed around in the SEC, his motor is in question sometimes energic other times not, they see him as a potential second round pick, but also say he definitely talented and could with work be productive.
So, I wouldn't assume he is even going to be a starter but a good substitute more like a Lance Ware with a potential much better upside, shooting skills, and improve as the year and his experience grows. Hopefully he gets to Kentucky soon and they put in him an intensive weight training program for strength. That seems as the biggest concern.
I think it's funny people act like he is gonna get pushed around in college, he played in the pro league in Serbia for 2 years lol, that is a crazy rough league and playing envoirnment!LOL he is 20x better then Lance Ware.

Porzingis ceiling.Anyone seen him play what type of impact will he have for Kentucky this season
Shots looked smooth as butter.
i say he will be more than lance ware from day one,lance could only do one thing and thats be physical but he was a liability on the offensive end and he couldn’t block a shot if he had to.There's some good write-ups by anonymous pro scouts I think on KSR or somewhere.

Speaking of Smooth As Butter….
I suppose we won’t know what to expect from Ivisic until our resident expert evaluator, Smooth, chimes in with a declaration that Ivisic will be all SEC.
From watching the Canada games, this group just likes to win! They share the ball and can beat guys off the dribble. A spread floor will only help. Excitement level rising. 📈I hope he doesn't screw up the chemistry of this team.
He’s a cross between AD and Jokic.Anyone seen him play what type of impact will he have for Kentucky this season
That’s what I was happy to see, a lot of those dudes are sticks. He’s got a pretty decent build for that height.he is 7'2" and is mobile. hes not a bodybuilder but he is not a stick either. i think he will do very well
That was a boss move.He is as smooth as Croatian Goat butter.
If he’s as good as Sam Bowie, I’ll be pleased.I’ve seen multiple people say he’s a NBA pro in time. Everything from the lottery to a 2nd rounder. That means he’s real good.
Haven’t seen one report stating the opposite.
He’s obviously got skills and is super fast for his size. The no look passing, ability to want to spot up for a 3 and step through show he’s a student of the game.
I’m very optimistic watching his shooting form and ability to dribble up the floor. Young. Was not impressed with his post up game. Has some timing and good hands. Strength will help. Speed and stride outstanding.
Outstanding addition. Probably low maintenance guy as well.
Gave me a Sam Bowie in HS vibe.
Reminds me of Chet holmgren
Ala Mike Scott?? When I hear that term "soft paws" I immediately think of Eddie Sutton talking about Mike Scott. LOLI read he has soft paws.
He’s a cross between AD and Jokic.
Yeah, with that long drawn out Arkansas drawl.Ala Mike Scott?? When I hear that term "soft paws" I immediately think of Eddie Sutton talking about Mike Scott. LOL
I heard he once fought Superman. The loser had to wear his underwear on the outside from then on.The boogeyman checks his closet for Ivisic each night before bed. He's that good.
He will be all SEC next seasonSpeaking of Smooth As Butter….
I suppose we won’t know what to expect from Ivisic until our resident expert evaluator, Smooth, chimes in with a declaration that Ivisic will be all SEC.
Bingo! Was wondering if anyone would know what I was talking about. Nice work.Ala Mike Scott?? When I hear that term "soft paws" I immediately think of Eddie Sutton talking about Mike Scott. LOL
