Following a sophomore who returned to school to hone his skills at 15, number 16 on the draft board goes to a freshman with plenty of athleticism but just as many lingering questions about whether he can translate into success at the next level.
The youthful 19 year old from USC put together a solid freshman year for O.J. Mayo’s proud alma mater. Mayo may not be a horrific name to invoke here either, with Porter looking like a guard with potential to score on several levels of the court. He shot 41.2% from deep, albeit on only 68 3-point attempts, but chucked a ghastly 52.
