Washington Wizards Need Otto Porter To Realize His Potential In 2016

The 2013 NBA Draft was one of the weakest in recent history. Having only played two seasons at Georgetown, Otto Porter declared for the draft, knowing that his stock would never be higher.

The Washington Wizards, who conveniently share the same space as Georgetown in the district, needed to add a small-forward to their nucleus of John Wall and Bradley Beal. Taking Porter third overall was a no-brainer and Ernie Grunfeld did exactly that.

Due to injuries and poor play, Porter only played in 37 games during his rookie season.
