Porter Jr. is a controversial player among Rockets fans, and last season the team's management almost traded him from the Cavaliers in a white-handed manner, and in order to transform and develop him into a star player, this season even gave Wall, the top 44 million point guard, to Snow, and also gave up the starting position to Porter Jr. to let him carry the job of organizing the tandem team.
Although at the beginning of the season Porter Jr. played a rather bad performance, often appeared between his own offense and pass to his teammates, resulting in a lot of unnecessary mistakes, but after more than half a season, Porter Jr. still made more obvious progress, look at the number of porter Jr. throughout March, averaging 16.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.8 errors per game, shooting 43.5%, three-point shooting rate of 36.2%, all the data performance is good, and he played well in 16 games at the beginning of the season. He averaged 13.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 4 turnovers per game, shooting 36.1 percent from the field and 30.4 percent from three-point range.
From the above data comparison, it can be found that although Porter Jr. has decreased in the number of assists, his mistakes are decreasing, and his offensive efficiency has also improved significantly, the main reason is that in the recent games, Porter Jr. and Green often swap positions in the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, which makes them have a better chemistry between the two, Porter Jr. said in an interview: "I am a point guard, not the traditional kind, but I am a point guard, we are now in 2022. I think Curry took this label off the traditional point guard. Since Curry came along, I don't think there are any traditional point guards other than Paul, and I definitely consider myself a point guard, especially for this team, and I want to be a point guard for the rest of my career. "There's a kind of self-bi-curry meaning.
At the same time, Porter Jr. talked about his partner with Green and he said: "I love to play with him, we want to be here, we want to be together for as long as possible." At the end of the season, you can see our progress, we know we've been improving, our chemistry is getting better, and we want to keep improving. ”
I don't know if the fans who don't like Porter Jr. can accept his remarks, but his words are endorsed by the team's manager Silas, Who said: "Porter Jr. is improving, as this becomes more natural, he will play better, this is his first full season as a point guard, the situation will only get better, he is a point guard, his vision helps his teammates play better." "It can be seen that Silas is quite satisfied with Porter Jr.'s performance this season. However, Porter Jr. still has many shortcomings, although he is compared to Curry, but the gap between him and Curry is not a star and a half, and if you want to conquer more fans, you must play a better performance and speak with strength.
