Washington Wizards: Otto Porter Jr.

Otto Porter Jr. has shown improvement each year in the NBA, as a young player should.

Last year, as a 22-year-old, he averaged 30 minutes per game for the Washington Wizards. As a result, he has managed to put up 11.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

With another full NBA offseason to improve his game and more maturity to go along with it, his averages should only be on the rise. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 6-foot-8 forward averaged 15 points and seven rebounds per game this coming year.
