Mizzou forward Michael Porter Jr.’s shot-making sets him apart

Missouri’s Michael Porter Jr. is no longer the consensus top 2017 prospect in the country, according to several of the outlets that rank and sort incoming recruits.

When Sierra Canyon power forward Marvin Bagley III reclassified and committed to Duke, he supplanted Porter in 247Sports’ Top 247 and composite rankings and in the ESPN 100 ranking for 2017.

Who’s really going to have a better season — excuse me, college career, since that will be likely the extent of it for both five-star studs — and who’s going to be the more-coveted NBA prospect next June?
