For the Otto Porter Advocates

I keep reading Stiff after Stiff advocating for Otto Porter via free agency or sign-and-trade, but for some reason I wasn't very familiar with him, so I just did a little basic research and highlight watching. .... holy smoke!! ... get him!!

FG%, 3-pt FG %, rebounds, finishing at the rim, athleticism, age, free throw shooting, position of need, year-over-year improvement - check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check and check.

Looks like a natural catch-and-shoot player on offense, but do you know if he can create? How's his defense? BB IQ? Does he cut to the rim? What's his temperament like, and moreover what do you perceive of his will to win? Is he the kind of guy that will want the ball in his hands with the game on the line? What kind of a teammate do you think he would he be?

No doubt Washington would want to try keep him, but sounds like there's an argument that doing so might be too costly relative to their (currently weak) depth? If this guy is a realistic 'get' for the Nug's, I can see why you'd want to prioritize him. Not sure that I'd necessarily throw the max at him, but this guy reads like and up and coming star to me, who would fit very well with our young core.

Tell me more.
