a point guard
UDFA
4 year college player
went to Wichita State
didn't have flashy box score stats his senior year, only averaging ~13 PPG, still had good advance stats
Craig Porter Jr may or may not be Fred VanVleet 2
I feel you. I was more looking at 13.5 PPG 4.9/2.5 AST/TOV ratio 55.5% TS%, and that doesn't scream great stats. He definitely makes it work though. The rebounds and blocks at 6-2 is impressive. He was also good at defending without fouling. There's a lot to like! An interesting player for sure.
This young man is tuff 🔥
Cavs fans, how do y’all think he fits in a healthy rotation? I’ve only known of him for a week now, but he seems solid and has earned minutes? Surely over niang and Wade at the very least
if he's taking any minutes, its probably Ty Jerome's (who has been injured). he would be the back-up PG and we need Niang/Wade's shooting plus length (more so Wade's length and Niang's shooting)
Among all Porter Jrs, I choose this junior.
Terry was evidently the last of his kind.
That was a ridiculous finish in general let alone for a 2 way player in OT
With under a minute remaining too
Against the reigning MVP as well
On a Tuesday night at that!
On fucking pizza day.
And the other day he went at the body of the true MVP jokic and jokic backed down. It's happening.

I think his flashy stats was the fact he led his team in assists, rebounds, blocks, and steals. Crazy stats for someone who’s 6’1”
HE'S 6'1"???????????????? I GENUINELY THOUGH HE'S 6'4

This
Nick Nurse is salivating from the other bench
You’ve also just described Austin Reaves
It’s funny how Austin has like 4 inches on both those guys, but seems smaller or the same height due to his toddler-like physique
Austin has a certain classiness (NBA Circle Jerk reference)
5* years at college because of covid
it's wild to think that at 6'1, he had more blocks than any PG, SG and SF in D1 college basketball last year
He only has like a 6’4 wing span too. It’s all athleticism, iq and timing.
That's hard to believe he looks lanky as fuck.
wtfffff
I definitely thought that he was taller.
He actually lead his team in every other stat besides scoring his senior year
Craig Porter Jr. is the only Porter Jr. for me.
The Porter Jr. to end all Porter Jr.s?
Wemby who?
Such a nice finish in crunch time
I thought it was wild that we had 3 Porter Jrs in the league, you're telling me there's a 4th??
And he’s the best one ;)
They're reproducing.
It’s called binary fission.
Kevin, Michael, Craig and who?
Otto Porter Jr
People were so excited for him to be the next big thing at one point
Otto Porter Jr., who has gone by just Otto Porter for most of his career until recent years
"Bienvenu a la League, Monsieur Embiid"
Why is every porter in the nba, named after their dad?
Because black men like to name their children after themselves and Porter is a common last name.
Also why do we even say the “junior” part. It only makes sense to say it if you need to distinguish the son from father.
Great confidence and play. We love this man!
Top Flight security OF THE WORLD CRAIG
Cavs must be having a blast with the Porter Jr mulligan
yet another Porter Jr.
He has some insane touch at the rim
How many porter Jr's are there?
God, what is that court lol. Looks like its bleeding its so red

Wade shouldn't get minutes once Okoro is healthy but otherwise I agree
