Kevin Porter Jr. of the Houston Rockets is complicated in the eyes of many NBA people.
He’s talented. Nobody could deny that. On the other hand, this is a player whose maturity has been questioned on multiple occasions.
That’s why the Rockets have him in the first place. This team sent the Cleveland Cavaliers practically nothing to acquire the young guard. After a locker room incident, the Cavaliers were looking to give him away.
There are questions about Porter Jr.’s game, too. He came into the league as a wing but started playing like an off-guard.
The Rockets have tried to turn him into a point guard. By all accounts, it sounds like they’re ready to put that experiment to bed.
Could they send Porter Jr. to the Los Angeles Lakers as a result?
