So Porter did a presser the other day and said he initially hurt his back TWO YEARS AGO, and that it got progressively worse until he could no longer play.
He also said that, since the surgery, he now realizes he played his senior year not even close to 100% and that he feels so much better than he did last year.
Yea he's had nerve pain for a long time and it wasn't until this year that it went down into his leg. If you actually watch him on the bench he was rubbing his left knee that was clearly in pain.
I watched a good amount on Michael Porter and I really am struggling to rank him solely because of his jump shot. At EYBL he shot something like 30% from three I believe. He shot poorly from 3 in both the McDonald's All-American game as well as at the Nike Hoops Summit. In the preseason game that Missouri played, against Kansas I believe, he also struggled shooting the 3.
I can't find reliable information on his shooting % during high school, and I know that he's a good FT shooter + has good mechanics, but I think people are glossing over this potential issue. If he doesn't have a quality jumper, my ranking of him would drop considerably. I wonder if teams have a similar viewpoint. It would do alot for me to see him get back before the end of the season and play in actual games, but I doubt that happens.
So much for me rides on his Combine performance (though I doubt he will even compete in the scrimmages) and whatever pre-draft workout information becomes available to the public.
Does anyone else know where to find his 3p% during HS? I found one site with stats, but they were way way off and had him attempting like 0.8 threes per game or something.
