Washington Wizards’ Otto Porter On Pace For Most Improved Player Award
It wasn’t long ago that some people unfairly labeled Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter a “bust”. The former third overall pick had dealt with numerous injuries early in his career and was forced to play behind Trevor Ariza and Martell Webster.
When he did get a chance to play, Porter looked weak and certainly didn’t fit the bill of an “NBA ready” prospect that most pundits thought he was coming out of Georgetown.
His confidence was shot and Randy Wittman didn’t seem ready to play the prospect that he had his eye on the entire summer. Really, it felt like the Washington Wizards had entered another Jan Vesely situation.
