ORLANDO, Fla. — “Plummet for Porter.’’
That could turn into the unofficial motto for the 2017-18 Knicks sooner than later. If you haven’t heard of him yet, that’s Missouri 6-foot-10 freshman combo forward Michael Porter Jr., expected to be the top pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
“He’s a game-changer,’’ one NBA executive told The Post. “This year was a good draft, not sure yet there was a game-changer.’’
Nobody from the Knicks organization — especially coach Jeff Hornacek — will use the word ‘tanking’ about next season, but if it smells like former Sixers general managers Sam Hinkie’s signature “Process,’’ it likely is.
