The Denver Nuggets rolled the dice this year on the biggest risk/reward pick in the draft, Michael Porter Jr. So what are the five things you should know about him?
- Porter played just three college games while missing most of the season after back surgery. That’s more than Emmanuel Mudiay, who spent his brief time in China prior to an ankle injury, but the Nuggets are making a pure scouting call on someone who was rated the #2 player in the country out of high school. Carmelo Anthony was once the #2 high school player, for reference - but of course Quincy Miller was considered that by Scout.
