Michael Porter Jr. might not see the court this season for the Nuggets, but that hasn’t dulled the excitement surrounding the first-round pick’s potential.
“You know what’s crazy, there are days where he’s able to go through parts of practice, non-contact of course, and you see his size, his skill level, his shooting,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. “I mean the guy has a pure jump shot. You forget how long he is. So when we do ball-handling and finishing drills and you see his handle and his ability to finish, it’s impressive. When we do shooting drills and you see his stroke and how pure it is, it’s really encouraging.
