Cavs chatter: 3 impacts Isaac Okoro will have on roster
3. Porter probably a two
The Cavs really like Michael Porter Jr., and the national pundits agree. He may have been Cleveland’s best pick from the 2019-2020 drafts in the long term.
Porter’s name was thrown around the No. 3 spot, but he’s probably better off at No. 2. This pick puts Okoro at the three, Porter at the two and a combination of Collin Sexton and Darius Garland at the point guard spot.
Plus, Sexton could take minutes at the two. It’s long been said that this would be a better role for him. He can score, but can’t dish.
Porter’s name has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately. We’ll see how all that shakes out.
But as far as his rookie campaign went, Porter averaged 10 points in 23 minutes per game and there’s definitely a clamoring to see more.
