Otto Porter Jr. insists his hip is fine, but the Bulls need more from him

Otto Porter Jr. had his best game of the young season against the Cavs, though that bar was very low given how awful he looked in the first four games. In the 117-111 loss in Cleveland, Porter posted 15 points on 5-of-10 shooting (1-of-2 from 3), five rebounds and three assists. He was more aggressive from the opening tip and was a plus-5 along with Tomas Satoransky.

However, despite playing pretty well, he still only played 27 minutes despite the Bulls’ shallow wing depth. This follows an early-season trend. After five games, the veteran forward is only playing 25.
