Kevin Porter Jr. has been putting up the kind of numbers that should have everyone excited about Milwaukee's backcourt. But his carelessness with the ball is sabotaging what could be a genuine breakout season, and it may be the only thing holding him back from becoming something great.
Across the past three games against Detroit, Philadelphia, and Detroit again, Porter Jr. put up 78 points in total on 51.1 percent from the field and 55.0 percent from deep. Those are fringe All-Star scoring numbers from a player the Bucks signed for basically nothing.
But buried underneath that offensive explosion is a problem that's killing Milwaukee's chances to win games.
