The Cleveland Cavaliers‘ reported trading for and essentially drafting of Kevin Porter Jr. is one that was a calculated risk.
KJG’s own Robbie DiPaola also touched on how Porter’s reported suspension in his one season at USC didn’t help his draft stock (of which Porter eventually slid all the way down to 30th overall), and Porter really had a disappointing 2018-19 campaign overall.
He reportedly had quad issues, too (per Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman), which didn’t help his cause.
All together, he only appeared in 21 games in his one season at USC (per Sports Reference), missing 12 games.
