Watch Porter be another Greg Oden.
I think Porter Jr should redshirt like Embiid and Simmons.
But yeah... Nuggets got a steal of a lifetime.

LOL, welcome to real life, lady. This isn't college, where chicks can demand equal funding with the men's team. This is real life, where your sport's popularity and revenue tends to dictate how much players make.
Damn

We'll see. A bad back doesn't bode well for a great NBA career. And he only played a handful of college games so he's really an unknown. And his defense isn't his strength either. So, even if he lasts longer than I expect, he's another 1-way player.
The difference between Sullinger and Porter is that Sullinger actually played in college and played really well.
Michael Porter basically has no college CV. So he's basically a high school 5 star recruit coming off a major injury. That is an awful lot of unknowns.
I would not say he is an unknown just because he missed a year of playing college ball.
Well, LeBron James, KG, Kobe, Dwight Howard and more all came straight from high school. Yes, the extra year helps evaluate, but elite talents can be spotted well before college. Porter fits that bill if his body cooperates.

Lakers signed free agent Joel Berry.
There was a reason why the NBA instituted a 1 year minimum. For every Lebron, there were 3 Kwame Brown's.
Porter isn't a complete unknown of course. He was a very highly rated 5 star recruit. But not seeing how he does against college players is a mark against him, compared to other kids that you did see.
If was injury free and simply missed the year for some non-injury related reason(ala David Robinson) he would likely still be a top 5 draft pick. Had he played this year without injury to the level people expected he would be the consensus No. 1 pick.

I don't have any clue what will happen with Porter physically. He might be the next brandon Roy.
Talent wise though, he is on the level of Doncic and Ayton at the top of the class. If he busts it is going to be because his body lets him down.
Lord, ANOTHER friggin' guard...
do something about the CENTER position...
tired of Lopez's slow ass...
