When an offseason report broke that the Spurs were interested in Kristaps Porzingis, there was a lot of excitement in the fan base. It's easy to fall in love with the idea of the Unicorn and the Alien pairing up to wreak havoc on the league. He ended up going to Atlanta instead, and so far, they haven't gotten a great return on their investment, as he's on track to miss his seventh game of the year.

San Antonio ended up opting for Luke Kornet, and while the 7'2" backup center has missed a few games of his own, his recent injury history hasn't forced him into street clothes anywhere close to the same rate.
