2013 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Otto Porter


Position: Small Forward

Size: 6-8, 205

School: Georgetown, Sophomore


Strengths:

Athleticism

Length

Rebounding

Active defender

Can guard multiple positions

Getting in passing lanes

Capable shot-blocker

Great feel for the game

Mid-range jumper

Turnaround jump shot

Three-point range

Good passer

Rarely forces shots

Basketball IQ

Weaknesses:

Consistency with his three-point shot

Free throw shooting

Must get stronger

Breaking down defenders off the bounce

Summary: Porter has the makings of being a tremendous role player at the next level since he can do a little bit of everything to contribute on the floor. It is unlikely Porter will ever be a 20 point per game scorer, but he rebounds, passes the ball well, and plays great defense. As a result, he should be a lottery pick.

Player Comparison: Nicolas Batum. Batum has developed into a solid all-around player who can affect the game even when he is not scoring the basketball. Porter should find a similar niche in the league due to his versatility and could become a solid role player who can do the little things to help a team be successful.
