Porter Jr.’s time unexpectedly complicated. The regular season puts it to the test strength which the player finds again later 3 back surgeries.
He played 81 in 82 games in the regular seasonsurpassed his previous career high of 62.
He travels with an average of 16.7 points e 7 reboundswith 39.7% fulfillment 3-pointer and broke the franchise record for most 3-pointers made in a season.
MPJ shot splits are the first of the 50/40/90 after the break due toAll-Star Game. He was more comfortable with hers ACTING and his physicality.
His scoring efficiency has improved even more first round of the playoffs, when he was Denver’s second-best offensive player. In fact, he shot the 55% from the farm and with 49% and 3.
But in the second phase the problems started. THE The Minnesota Timberwolves he put on her Jaden McDaniels and Porter Jr. struggled a lot.
And so the player chose to blame Denver’s elimination from the playoffs, after losing. 7 of us against the Timberwolves. In this series, he traveled an average of 10.7 points and pulled with 37.1% from the farmbut he only achieved it 10 of his 35 shot attempts in the last 4 games.
“It’s a terrible series” he said, after scoring alone 3 times out of 12 in Race 7. “I know if I had played like I used to, we would have won. There are a lot of things we could have done differently as a team. But I know if I had done my part, we would have won .And I have to admit it. I’m not going to sit here and pretend it’s not a burden, or that I don’t think about it all day. I’m a better player than you are this series. I’m a better shooter than you’ve seen in this series. I apologize to my teammates.”
