For BONUS Footage On Porzingis, CLICK HERE: http://bit.ly/1WRIxUU Details for the movie "Amateur" are down below. Coach Nick broke down the game of this 20 year Latvian rookie, examining how he's been contributing on both ends of the floor. Porzingis is supremely skilled for someone who is 7'3" tall and has the rare ability to post up or spot up. As he matures, gets stronger, and more adjusted to the speed of the NBA game, there is no doubt in my mind he will be worth every bit of his ranking as the 4th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. "AMATEUR" is a forthcoming feature film Executive Produced by NBA champion and All-Star TONY PARKER of the San Antonio Spurs, produced by NETFLIX andMANDALAY PICTURES ("WHEN THE GAME STANDS TALL").
