SB Nation just had to be different.
Among seven way-too-early 2018 NBA Drafts, Missouri’s prize incoming freshman forward is projected to go No. 1 overall or is listed as the top available player on six lists.
The lone exception, SB Nation, lists Real Madrid forward Luka Doncic as the top prospect for next June’s draft with Porter second on the list.
Porter hasn’t ruled out playing more than one season for the Tigers, but it seems unlikely he’d stay if he remains the draft’s top prospect.
Porter’s father, Michael Porter Sr., is an assistant coach on Cuonzo Martin’s staff and his younger brother, Jontay Porter, has committed to Mizzou and will make a decision about graduating early, reclassifying and enrolling for the fall semester next month.
