It comes down to what is between the ears with some of these players in the draft and I think with Rick that is doubly important.

Nobody is ever going to be the "next Dirk" -- not Porzingis, not Markkanen. It will never happen... At best, those guys will define themselves individually, the same way that Kobe never really became the "next Jordan" -- he became Kobe.
Some players are just too damn unique to emulate, no matter how hard you imitate.
