How things pan out medically will play a large role in determining how high (or low) Porter goes. He entered the season as the No. 1 prospect on several boards, though, so the talent is obviously there. Scouts, based on high school and AAU performance alone, should be familiar with his game as well.
The Cavaliers make an easy choice here, adding one of the best perimeter bucket-getters we’ve seen in recent years. At 6-10, Porter is a dynamic scorer at all three levels who has upside as a versatile body on the defensive end. It’s not hard to picture him and LeBron James sharing the forward spots.
We’ll see if Porter is able to make any noise in the tournament after missing virtually the entire regular season with injury. He returned for the Tigers’ SEC Tournament loss to Georgia, but looked understandably rusty in a rough first outing.
