No prospect has risen as quickly as Kevin Porter Jr., who just five games into his collegiate career has gone from long-term project to potential lottery pick. He’s averaging 14.0 points in 25.6 minutes per game, flashing well-developed scoring moves on the wing.
The Magic need a point guard, but the options aren’t great here. Orlando won’t stick around the middle of the pack all season, but in this situation, it’s wiser to address the need for more youth on the wing. Porter fits.
Despite questionable shot mechanics, Porter can score at three levels, using crafty handles to create space and score off the bounce. He’s an adept finisher in traffic, can hit pull-ups and should grow as a playmaker. He’s firmly on the NBA radar.
