Michael Porter Jr. gets drafted in the top 5

Michael Porter Jr. is one of the biggest mysteries in the 2018 NBA Draft. He could end up being the best player from this draft class, but at the same time could end up being the biggest bust. He’s supremely talented, but there are legit health concerns and a few off-the-court issues that have popped up and have teams concerned.

With that said, it only takes one team to be sold on him and fine with his health concerns. And I believe that there’s going to be one team in the top 5 that will be able to overlook all of those concerns.

If Michael Porter Jr. never gets injured at Missouri, there’s a good chance he’s in the conversation to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft. Maybe some team really believes in their training staff and development team.
