The Denver Nuggets drafted Michael Porter Jr. with the 14th pick of the 2018 NBA Draft knowing they will have to wait on the forward.
That waiting lasted all season, as Porter didn’t play a minute for the Nuggets and needed back surgery a month after being drafted. The hope was the Porter would be able to play this year and that he would be fully healthy, something that he hasn’t been since his senior year of high school.
The Nuggets’ patience might pay off.
Training camp begins next week and the Denver Post caught up with Denver Nuggets president Tim Connelly.
