As the highest stage of basketball in the world, it is obvious that the NBA is very competitive, and players may be abandoned by this league due to injury or a sharp drop in form if they are not careful. Of course, there are also players who leave the NBA because they have little to do with their own abilities, purely because of personality factors or influenced by off-court events, such as Kevin Porter Jr.
In the Greek league played earlier, Kevin Porter Jr. efficiently cut 28 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and the former Rockets core finally ushered in an explosion. Seeing Kevin Porter Jr. perform so well, former Rockets teammates are also happy for him, such as Jabari Smith, a former Houston scout, who retweeted the relevant updates of his data sheet.
Kevin Porter Jr.'s personal ability, looking at the entire NBA, is at the middle and upper level, but he also has serious psychological problems, making a big fuss in the locker room during his time with the Cavaliers, and was finally sent to the Rockets for nothing. After Kevin Porter Jr. joined the Space City, his psychological problems improved for a while, and Kevin Porter Jr. also became the youngest Mr. in history to score 50 points and 10 assists when the Rockets played against the Bucks. At least from the perspective of offensive firepower, Kevin Porter Jr. was even more stable and efficient than Jalen Green in those years, he resigned his contract with the Rockets early before the start of last season, and Kevin Porter Jr. also seemed very competitive, he continued to improve, averaging 19.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and made great progress in off-ball projection, playmaking and passing, and defense.
However, Kevin Porter Jr., last summer, was the perfect illustration of his own sin. Originally, because of the fear that Kevin Porter Jr. would cause trouble again, although the Rockets completed the contract extension with him, the contract set up a lot of additional terms, which made it possible for the Rockets to purge Kevin Porter Jr. at any time if he was not in the limelight. And Kevin Porter Jr.'s fiancée broke the news that he was abusing himself, which directly ended Kevin Porter Jr.'s NBA career. Although the fiancée has since changed her words, most likely because she feels that this behavior is harmful to others and herself, and she will completely break with Kevin Porter Jr., it is still too late, and the Rockets did not hesitate to send Kevin Porter Jr. away, and after he went to the Thunder, he did not play for the new club, and was directly cut.
After a long time behind a free transfer, Kevin Porter Jr. was desperate for a chance, and since the NBA was struggling to get a new contract, Kevin Porter Jr. had his sights set on Europe. Eventually, he joined PAOK in the Greek League, but his performances were up and down, scoring 14 points on 14-shot shooting and making five turnovers in his debut. Now Kevin Porter Jr. has finally broken out, but considering that he has not yet reached the age of 24, and his talent and ability are not bad, it is still a little embarrassing to be reduced to this.
