He has played in 60% of regular season games in his career. That's awful. That doesn't even include missing three games in the playoffs when the Mavs had an opportunity to advance last year.
With that being said, I have not one time advocated trading the guy. He is supremely talented. But before I start anointing him as one of the top players in the league, I have to see him on the court a lot more often.

Yes it is about ability. He is a rather one dimensional player who isn't really a creator on offense and has actually rather poor touch inside 10 feet for his height. I highly advocate moving Porzingis for a true 2nd create his own offense type scorer. It is laughable that Cuban would say he is a top 20 player. That would imply he is better than the best person on a dozen teams in the league. I can't think of one team in league where he would be the best player but I can think of most of the good teams where he would be lucky to be the 3rd best player on team.
