Throughout much of the 2019-20 season for the Cleveland Cavaliers, rookie Kevin Porter Jr. demonstrated big-time potential as an on-ball creator.
Porter, to a large degree, took on a bigger role on-ball after the Cavs traded bench scoring extraordinaire Jordan Clarkson to the Utah Jazz in late December, and while Clarkson was definitely missed, KPJ did step up.
It was rough that Porter missed a 10-game span in January due to a left knee sprain, and the Cavs’ last three games going then into the novel coronavirus-induced hiatus due to a concussion. Even so, he proved to be one of the Cavs’ most promising young players.
