NBA Comparison: Chris Porter

Aran Smith – 10/26/2007

Strengths: An athletic physical specimen type who’s sure to be featured in a number of highlight reels … A high energy guy that is still developing offensively … Right now he’s most comfortable crashing the glass and following up misses with acrobatic finishes, as well as overpowering players for easy baskets … Very fast in the open floor … Gives great effort on the defensive end and hustles for every loose ball … Excellent work ethic, constantly working on his game … His ball handling has shown some improvement with the ability to take opponents off the dribble. His athleticism and defensive ability gives him a chance to stick in the league even if his offensive/perimeter skills never completely materialize … A bigtime shotblocker at 6-7 using his tremendous leaping ability to reject bigger opponents inside the paint …

Weaknesses: He won’t be able to athletically outclass guys on the NCAA level the way he did in Juco Ball. And that is even more true of the jump from NCAA to NBA ball … Still needs to develop a lot of perimeter skills including his passing and ball handling as well as his outside shot … Has solid mechanics on his shot but needs to learn to shoot better off the dribble as well as add consistency and range to his shot … Not a great passer. He’s not a turnover waiting to happen, but struggles to make plays for other people … Must keep improving his "feel" for the game and become less reliant upon his athletic abilities to beat opponents …

Notes: Considered one of the top 5 juco players in the country last year playing at Dodge CC (Kansas) … Playing at Charlotte should be a great situation for him as he won’t be rushed into the spotlight as quickly as if he were in the SEC (where a number of teams were recruiting him) and he should also find it easier to step into the role team’ leader and star player …
