Fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers seem to be very excited about the potential of 2019 NBA Draft pick Kevin Porter Jr., as they should be.
Though the baseline numbers didn’t necessarily show it in Porter’s one collegiate season at USC, he’s a player that appears to have a very high ceiling for the Cavaliers, but plenty of that ceiling will depend on Porter’s willingness to take the ball all the way to the rim.
Last year, Porter did not fit in too well at USC, as KJG contributors have often noted, and a mid-season suspension (as was initially reported by the Los Angeles Times‘ Brady McCollough) and a quad injury also caused him to miss nine games (h/t Hot Hot Hoops’ Surya Fernandez and Leonard Kreicas).
