Cleveland Cavaliers youngster Kevin Porter Jr. is poised for a big leap forward.

It’s evident that the Cleveland Cavaliers received plenty of positive signs from Kevin Porter Jr. play as a rookie. In his 23.2 minutes per outing, he had 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.9 steals per contest, and got better as the season wore on.

In his last 18 games active, Porter had 12.4 points per outing also. And though him missing a 10-game stretch in January due to a knee sprain and what would ultimately be Cleveland’s last three games due to a concussion was unfortunate, post-Jordan Clarkson being traded to the Utah Jazz, Porter had more opportunities.
