Kristaps Porzingis’ skill set is so unique, Knicks fans have likened him to a unicorn. Across town, the Nets are eyeing their own rare Latvian find in Pozingis’ old running mate.

Anzejs Pasecniks was as highly regarded as Porzingis when they came up through the youth ranks together. He might not quite be Porzingis, but the draft-eligible 21-year-old is a reasonable facsimile, according to scouts who have seen him.

“He’s a late bloomer. He’s coming on. He’s going to sneak into the first [round]. He’s not as athletic as Porzingis, but he’s just more of a late bloomer than Porzingis. He’s coming on quick,’’ ESPN international expert Fran Fraschilla told The Post. “He’s going to play himself into the first round. He’s a reasonably good athlete for 7-2, he can run and jump.

“I don’t want to say he’s Porzingis, but he’s a reasonable facsimile. I don’t want to give the impression he’s unathletic, because he’s not. He gives you length, he gives you shooting, he can protect the rim a little bit. He’s in that sweet spot. He’s more mature [than fellow Latvian Rodions Kurucs]. I don’t think he’s as good a prospect as the younger kid, but he’s been more of a factor.”

In a draft short on centers, and with the rebuilding Nets likely looking more for long-term upside than immediate help, the 7-foot-2 Pasecniks makes sense. He may not be as freakishly athletic as Porzingis, but coming up he was held in similar regard.

Pasecniks was tabbed to go 26th in next month’s draft by Draft Express. With the Nets picking 22nd and 27th, Israeli basketball writer David Pick predicted on the “Glue Guys” podcast that Pasecniks would be Brooklyn’s most likely selection.

“No. 1 would be Pasecniks, because they sent Trajan [Langdon, assistant general manager] there,’’ Pick said. “Trajan played in Europe for a very long time, and Trajan is extremely involved in the scouting. It’s, ‘We really like this kid. What do you think about him?’ ”

Langdon — who spent 2002-11 with four different teams in Europe — was among the representatives of 11 different NBA teams on hand to watch Pasecniks pour in 24 points and grab seven rebounds for Gran Canaria in the Spanish league. It’s considered the second-best league in the world, which is why Pasecniks made the move from Latvia’s VEF Riga last year to get more exposure in Eurocup and Spanish league games.

“He’s just a late bloomer compared to Porzingis, but growing up they were really the same thing. A lot of people projected they’d grow up together, but Porzingis blew up quicker,” Pick said. “This kid had 24 and 7 in 21 minutes. He shot 11-of-13 from the field. He was dunking over people, he was spreading out and shooting 3s, he gave a ball handoff, curled, faked a pick-and-roll and ran back for the alley-oop.

“He’s so smart, and you see a lot of shades of Porzingis obviously because they are good friends and they talk a lot. They play for the same national team. He’s climbing. He’s climbing a lot. He was projected early second. He’s probably first round now. There’s no doubt in my mind.”

At a spindly 229 pounds, both Fraschilla and Pick viewed Pasecniks as a classic stash pick, but a wise choice for the Nets. Pick pointed out the presence of R.C. Buford at that game last month, and surmised the Spurs GM wasn’t there to look at Estudiantes’ Edwin Jackson (also a potential Brooklyn target).

“R.C. Buford isn’t going to that game to see Edwin Jackson, with all due respect to Edwin,” Pick said. “He’s going to see a prospect who you’re going to stash somewhere and bring him back when everybody’s sleeping. And all of a sudden, and down the road, this guy is a six-time All-Star.”

The Nets would sign up for that.
