yeah that was why i was so excited when porter chose to play in the pro league here in the Philippines. However, if i am not mistaken, he played only two or three games as there were other ‘imports’ who clearly outplayed him. so much for my porter ‘afro-dunkin’ rookie card.

porter was drafted 5yrs to early…If he was drafted around 05-08 he would be a good player for an uptempo team. The rules changes would’ve fit him great!!! He use to remind me of craig mack for some reason…hahahaha

He broke his leg or something in or before his senior year that set him back. I may be wrong, but I though his injury was the reason for him dropping the second rd.

The Real Tyrone- were you being serous when you said that? If you dont know him then you dont know bball.

@ post 11: Yeah, I remember that now. Porter really dropped from Jr. to Sr. year.

If you are a college player and your stock is skyhigh after a certain year, it is time to go pro!

The landscape is littered with guys like Tony White (Tenn.), Brett Nelson (FL), Roy Hibbert, etc. who were rated (unjustifiably) high at a certain time in their college career, but hung in college too long and their stock plummetted.

@Celts fan….i think they did one on Shawn Respert…actually the first was on respert but i would like to see what happened to Cota. That was my dude at UNC but i think he went the way of a lot of pgs that had no jump shot

Porter was a beast. Shoulda left school after that monster junior year before the NBA figured out he was a freak athlete with no real hoop skills…
He would’ve gone first round and got the guaranteed cash to help his family. “Problem” was, dude actually liked college…..oh well

What about a “Where Are They Now?” on Hasheem Thabeet?

You know, that 7-3 center from Africa, chosen 2nd in the draft, used to star at UConn, last seen playing in the Final Four, allegedly had lots of potential…?
