Porzingis is a bit less bulky & plays less physical than embiid, I’d imagine that plays a role. Tbf I doubt he’s asked to flop as much and as theatrically as he does, but I buy the idea that taking pressure off his feet and on to his body could prevent injuries.
Why arent all the other injury proun players do that? Porzingis as an example?
