2019 NBA draft prospect Kevin Porter Jr. honors his father's memory | SC Featured
Спорт
Former USC guard Kevin Porter Jr.'s path to the NBA begins with honoring the memory of his father, Kevin Porter Sr., who was shot and killed in 2004. The death of his father has motivated the Seattle-born potential lottery pick to bring his elite scoring abilities to the next level, as he plans to represent his family name once his name is called at the 2019 NBA draft.

This man will be a future all star. Mark this post !!! He has a higher ceiling than James Harden and have been watching Harden since his Arizona St days. At 20 years old he has Crawford like handles with that Harden Step back. He is super athletic and a great rebounder.

KP Jr should be a lottery pick with all of his talent. Atlanta would be wise to look at him hard at #8/#10 but I get the feeling that Miami has him in their sights.

Likely burned his last bridge in Cleveland. Time to get back to his roots, make good decisions and grow up. Remember why basketball was important and get back to working on his trade.
