Porter Jr.'s game can be summed up in one sentence: the first half organizes the end of the second half. In the first half, Porter Jr. played patiently, passing the ball for his teammates several times. Porter Jr. has a height advantage in playing point guard, and his passing vision is very good. Today he played without dragging his feet, and his teammates had the opportunity to give the ball immediately.

And that's not all, in the ensuing round, Porter Jr. and Green showed terrible talent, Green flicked the ball and Porter Jr. completed a beautiful aerial relay dunk. That's exactly what Rockets fans most want to see — the connection between two talented guards. The Knights didn't know how to feel when they saw this, because they had given up on Little Potter. Now Porter Jr. is getting better and better at the Rockets.

Porter Jr.'s shooting feel is also getting better and better, and Rockets fans should have an impression. At the beginning of the season, Porter Jr. was a blacksmith on the outside, how to shoot how not to score. Especially the three-point shot, the recent period of time Porter Jr. three-pointers feel hot, the last three games Porter Jr. has not been less than 50% of the three-point shooting rate, three games hit a total of 10 three-pointers. His three-point shooting percentage has improved to a respectable 36 percent, averaging two three-pointers per game.
The Rockets trusted Porter Jr. very much, giving him a lot of ball possession and letting him sort out the team's offense. So Porter Jr. appears more confident in the offense, and even if something goes wrong, the Rockets coaching staff won't put pressure on him. As the season progressed, Porter Jr. gradually found the feeling that he was a talented teenager who would not be bad in his future as long as he played seriously without emotional problems. Don't forget, Porter Jr. was the player who scored 50+10 in a single game against the Bucks last season. Little Potter did this when he was just a second-year student. Just give him enough patience and the ball, and he will definitely play a dazzling performance.
The Rockets have not had the pressure of performance in the past two years, and they can slowly cultivate Porter Jr. and Green. Maybe one day in the future, another backcourt two-gun combination will emerge. They can even storm the NBA All-Stars. Dear readers, how do you evaluate Porter Jr.'s performance in the recent period?
