Michael Porter Jr. to meet with Kings; Luka Doncic riles up analysts with talk about future | The Sacramento Bee

Michael Porter Jr. slipping to second in the 2018 NBA draft?

A year ago that might have been a laughable statement. Many considered Porter the best high school player in the country and a lock to be the first overall pick – before back surgery cost him most of his freshman season at Missouri.

Now he's out to prove to NBA teams, such as the Kings who pick second in next month's draft, that he is still the best talent available.

The 6-foot-10 forward, who describes himself as a "versatile" and "positionless" player most comfortable on the perimeter, said he was scheduled to meet with the Kings on Friday.
