Nuggets 2018-19 Player Previews: Michael Porter Jr.

Last Season: Michael Porter Jr., the MVP of the 2017 McDonald’s High School All-American game, was limited to just three games in college for the Missouri Tigers due to a back injury. Sample sizes don’t get much smaller than that, but he showed plenty of potential with averages of 10.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists.

Porter has a fluid jump shot. He runs the court well – and that should improve exponentially as he is able to get himself into true basketball condition. He can handle the ball in the open court and projects as being able to consistently get a defensive rebound, go coast-to-coast and finish.
