This writer likens Michael Porter Jr to Paul George.

The OKC superstar is a long, athletic shot-maker who plays excellent defense.

His scoring and athletic abilities rendered him a coveted free agent in 2018’s off-season.

Although not quite at Durant’s level, PG is an elite stud. He averaged 21.9 ppg last year (ESPN).

If Porter Jr develops into a Paul George-caliber superstar, there will be much celebration.

Offensively, this comparison is brilliant. Defensively, it may be a stretch.

Hopefully, he can show some flashes of Paul George on the defensive end of the floor when he finally takes the floor for the Denver Nuggets.
