I think Porzingis thought of himself as the unicorn at the time and wanted to be treated as such.
I agree with all of the above, but it doesn't change for me what was the primary problem. The big problem was that Porzingis did not move well enough to defend the pick and roll. Period. Conversation over (for me), because he will NEVER be effective in the playoffs, once teams spread your defense out.
It's just a dead end for me. He's too slow.
