Michael Porter Jr.

Porter comes from an extraordinarily athletic family — his father played college basketball, and his brother Jontay Porter also reached the NBA, making them one of the rare brother duos to both play professionally.

His slide from a projected top-3 pick to 14th overall due to back concerns was one of the most dramatic pre-draft drops in recent history, and Denver's willingness to take the risk was validated by their 2023 championship.

Porter's release point on his jump shot is among the highest in the league, making him exceptionally difficult to contest even when defenders close out at full effort.

He is one of only a few players to shoot above 50% from the field and 40% from three over a full season (2021-22), a combination that places him in elite offensive efficiency company.
