There wasn’t a bigger splash by a Houston Rocket last year than the one left by Kevin Porter Jr. when he cannonballed onto the scene and became their sunshine through many, many cloudy days.
As bizarre as it may sound, Porter Jr. only spent 26 games in a Houston jersey, where he averaged 16.6 points per game along with 6.3 assists and 3.8 rebounds. The reason it sounds strange is that although he’s been around since January 21st, 2021, his debut didn’t come until March 11 due to him spending time in the G-League bubble with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers where he became a sensation amongst Red Nation.
