As a sophomore, he lead the Hoyas in points (16.2), rebounds (7.5) and steals
(1.8). He also was third in assists (2.7) and second in blocks (.9). A 6'9,

length and athleticism for the small forward position.
SB Nation's Big Board Jonathan Tjarks' ranking of the top prospects in the
2013 NBA DraftBut while Porter's feel for the game and high basketball IQ will
allow him to be a contributor right away, there are some concerns about his
ceiling, especially if he's taken in the
Top 5. In college, most of his points came off post-ups and moving without
the ball. He doesn't have the elite first step to beat his man off the dribble,
and lacks the strength and explosiveness to finish through contact in the lane.
As a result, if his jumper isn't falling, he will be relatively easy to
defend.
The key for him at the next level will be putting on some weight, which will
allow him to play out of the post and match up with bigger small forwards. In
certain situations, Porter's length might even allow him to play as a small-ball
4.
Down the road, Porter should be extremely valuable as a Buy NBA 2K18 MT versatile defender
and secondary shot-creator. He may never be a star, if he's your third- or
fourth-best player, you will have a really good team. DRAFT EXPRESS SCOUTING
