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.

I mean he had a foot injury that kept him out right after he was drafted, and basketball is just a tough sport for your feet (amplified by being a giant like Embiid) so I believe it
