Craig Porter Jr. spent his offseason time watching videos of Ja Morant, an all-star point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies. Porter said watching Morant’s transition from college basketball to the NBA was encouraging.
Now, the Terre Haute, Indiana, native said he is ready to lead the Wichita State men’s basketball team this season.
“He’s responded well,” head coach Isaac Brown said, who sent Porter videos of Morant. “We talked about it all summer long about him being more of a vocal leader.”
Porter decided to enter the transfer portal along with eight other players after last season in April.
