The former Nuggets wing forward is living his best Jerami Grant life in Brooklyn, taking the bulk of the shots for a bad team and putting up career-high numbers — All-Star caliber numbers — in the process. Our old pal MPJ went into Friday night’s games averaging 25.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game while draining 39.6% of his 3-point tries.
The Nuggets traded Porter to the Nets this summer as a salary dump. But it was one of those trades that’s working out for both sides, in hindsight: Denver was 20-6 as of Friday afternoon, the best 26-game start to a season in franchise history.
