2018 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: Michael Porter Jr., DeAndre Ayton top the class
By Connor Harr
5. Sacramento Kings: Michael Porter Jr. SF/PF Missouri
Big Board Rank: 5
The Sacramento Kings are an absolute mess. They are one of two teams in the NBA that score under 100 points per game. Almost their entire mediocre roster is under contract for next season. Since the Kings can’t be in a rush to rebuild they take Michael Porter Jr with the 5th pick.
Porter was recently cleared for all basketball activities after playing only a few minutes in his first game after suffering a back injury. Hopefully he can get to 100% because Porter can flat out score. He’s a huge matchup problem standing at 6’10” with his ball handling and shooting ability. If Porter’s back checks out bet on him being the Kings scoring leader next season.
