Cavs: Kevin Porter Jr. has high ceiling as pick-and-roll creator

At this point, fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers are well-aware that Kevin Porter Jr. has a ton of potential.

The 19-year-old rookie still makes his share of mistakes, but he’s continued to showcase big-time finishing ability in both the halfcourt and in transition, and his defensive instincts for a young perimeter player have impressed me.

What has jumped out to me more and more as of late, though, is Porter’s pick-and-roll ball-handling effectiveness. On the season, as a pick-and-roll ball-handling scorer, he’s only placed in the 29th percentile, according to Synergy Sports.
