The endless comparisons of tall European shooters to Dirk Nowitzki is way overplayed, but Kristaps Porzingis comes the closest in that otherwise tired analogy.
Porzingis and Nowitzki shared a shooting drill together as part of their NBA Africa Games tour. The German and the Latvian, nearly two decades apart in age, eerily mirrored one another as they practiced making off-the-dribble threes.
