Otto Porter needs to be more assertive to be more consistent

Otto Porter has shouldered greater responsibility for the Wizards’ offense in the absence of John Wall. In the 23 games which Wall has missed after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery, Porter has averaged 17.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game on a scorching 52.3 percent field goal percentage.

He’s always been an efficient player, but in these 23 games Otto has proved the ability to take on a larger role without the benefit of the John Wall Effect. If Porter were to play a full season at that level, we’d be talking about him as an All-Star candidate.
