Fans and scouts who have waited all season to see Missouri’s Michael Porter Jr. in action will get their wish in the SEC Tournament, tweets Paul Finebaum of ESPN. Tigers coach Cuonzo Martin confirmed today that the potential top-five pick in this year’s draft will see some playing time during the tourney.
“He said ‘Coach, I want to help the team,'” Martin said. “… for me it was always Mike’s decision to play or not play.”
Porter won’t start and won’t see a lot of action, Martin added. Porter suffered a back injury in November that required surgery and limited him to just two minutes in the season opener. He was medically cleared for basketball activities February 22. Missouri, the fifth seed in the SEC, will open the tournament Thursday against Georgia or Vanderbilt.
Porter is the sixth selection in the latest mock draft compiled by Jonathan Givony of ESPN, but he could move up the board with a strong showing in the conference and NCAA tournaments.
Porter Jr will average 55 ppg 14 rpg and 12 apg and get drafted number 1 to the Knicks.
