Down the stretch last year, Kevin Porter Jr. was a weapon for the Milwaukee Bucks off the bench. Over his final eight games of the regular season, he took it up a notch by averaging 18.3 points per game, 5.1 assists, and 5.4 rebounds on 54/44/86 shooting splits. In the playoffs, the first of Porter's career, it took him time to get going. By the time he found a groove, the series was out of hand.
Entering 2025-26, many Bucks fans are excited for a possible Porter breakout. Even if he delivers, fairly or not, a sluggish postseason would sour any positive perception.
