The ball-holding ability is underestimated! The Bucks new player in the backcourt could have played a huge role in the Clippers?
In a previous NBA playoff game, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks who played at home 129-103. After this game, the Pacers have widened the total score of the series to 3-1, and they have also successfully won the match point; while the Bucks are in great trouble, and they are on the verge of elimination. Although the Bucks suffered a crushing defeat in this game, the performance of substitute point guard Kevin Porter Jr. was actually quite good. Porter Jr. played 33 minutes and 27 seconds in the game, made 9 of 17 shots, and 5 of 7 shots from outside the three-point line, scoring 23 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, and had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -16. Because Damian Lillard was injured and left the game early, Porter Jr. was also ordered to get a lot of playing time in danger. Porter Jr. also showed his comprehensive personal ability when holding a large amount of ball rights. He had rich offensive methods. He also seized the opportunity and got a lot of points. He also showed some passing and organizational talents. He also showed his characteristics on the offensive end. However, the Bucks' overall performance is indeed not ideal, and the team's competitiveness is also significantly different from that of their opponents. Porter Jr.'s efforts cannot help the team turn the situation around. Since joining the Bucks, Porter Jr. has played 30 games for the team in the NBA regular season, averaging 19.9 minutes per game, averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He has shot 49.4% from the field, 40.8% from three-point shooting percentage and 87.1% from free throws. So far in the playoffs, Porter Jr. has averaged 26 minutes of playing time in the first four games, with averaging 11.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5 assists and 0.8 steals, and 1.5 turnovers and 2 fouls. He has a shooting percentage of 39.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 46.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 90%. In fact, Porter Jr.'s overall performance after joining the team was quite good. He showed quite good personal scoring ability and rich offensive methods in the regular season. His arrival also made up for the impact of Lillard's injury in the final stage of the regular season on the team. It’s just that the Bucks’ problems may be all-round. As a role player, Porter Jr. has no way to change the overall situation with his own efforts. For Porter Jr.'s old club, the Los Angeles Clippers, it is a bit incomprehensible to see how they trade Porter Jr. Judging from the current situation, the Clippers' second team did not even have a stable ball holding point. Bogdan Bogdanovic had no clearance in the playoffs, and Ben Simmons became a substitute center in the playoffs. If Porter Jr., the Clippers could also be a little easier in the series against the Denver Nuggets.
