NBA's Latvian big guy Kristaps Porzingis may be too tall for the league, as far as New York Knicks president Phil Jackson is concerned.

In a recent interview with ESPN, Jackson told Charley Rosen that the forward may not possess enough strength aside from his height.

"Like Shawn Bradley, who was nevertheless a pretty good player, KP might almost be too tall for the game. What I mean is that his core strength might never be good enough, and that he might not be able to get low enough to get himself into prime defensive position to body power rebounders or drivers," he explained.

The team president added that Porzingis' future with the team depends on what coach Derek Fisher wants to do with him.

"But it would be great if KP could get as much as 20 minutes a game early in the season, plus maybe a few more later when he's acclimated to the NBA game. It also has to be determined whether he'll be more comfortable at power forward or center," he added.

According to Yahoo Sports, Jackson expressed a "reasonable fear" with having the 7'2"-tall player on his team but he was not short of giving him credit for his skills and determination in the game.

The player has just turned 20 and he is expected to still get taller.

"Standing 7-3 would rank him taller than each of the NBA's starting centers, 220 pounds is a swingman's weight and Kristaps' game features a litany of small forward and power forward moves," explained Yahoo Sports.

Fox Sports said Porzingis has the capacity to "bully" other players in post but he may not be able to go against front court bruisers when there is a need to. Fox also said that this can be easily remedied if he adds more weight to be able to survive in the league.

Drafted fourth overall during the 2015 draft, Porzingis was Jackson's "big man" choice during the first round, according to Bleacher Report.

The president reportedly heard of the Latvian's performance during their game versus FIATC Joventut during the final game of the Spanish League.

"Although the competition in the Spanish League is more physical, more consistent and more advanced than even the best D-I college teams over here, KP more than held his own," the Knicks president said in an earlier statement.

"He had a long, lively body, a well-developed basketball IQ, a soft shot with terrific range and he didn't back down from anybody. Plus, he showed an amazing athleticism for somebody his size."

Averaging 10.5 points and 3.2 rebounds during the NBA Summer league, Porzingis is still considered a risky choice for Jackson so the player needs to prove him wrong.
