Nets forward new player: Due to injury, I have to work harder than others
Michael Porter Jr., a forward star who was just sent to the Brooklyn Nets by his old club Denver Nuggets in a trade this summer, talked about the level of effort of NBA players in his podcast "Curious Mike". He made it clear that he is a very hard-working player and his level of effort may be seriously underestimated by everyone. Potter Jr. said: I feel that since I first entered the industry, all this seems to be a mystery. Something I once believed in very much may not be true. But I also think that this may also be a misunderstanding that many people will have. In the eyes of many people, every NBA player is the kind of person who works really, very hard in daily training. This is of course good. You must have talent and talent, and you really need to work hard enough to come here. But the reality is that many people will not invest too much in their skills, will not invest too much in their bodies, and will not invest too much in order to maintain their health. They don't invest as much time in recovery as you think. You all know that I have always been the kind of super hardworking and super focused person. I love work and I have been working hard, but I don't think every NBA player is like this. And because of my injury, I was forced to do this, and I had to work harder than others. In the NBA regular season last season, Porter Jr. made a total of 77 appearances in 82 games, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, averaging 18.2 points, 7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.4%, three-point shooting percentage was 39.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 76.8%. In the playoffs, Porter Jr. made a total of 14 appearances, averaging 31.1 minutes per game, with averaging 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 39.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 34.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 71.4%. Potter Jr.'s performance was not ideal last season. He was able to show his own characteristics in the regular season, but in the playoffs, he may have been affected by injuries. His performance on the court was simply terrible. He could not have a good effect on both offense and defense. That's why the Nuggets made a deal this summer. They packed Porter Jr. and the 2032 Nuggets' unprotected first-round pick to the Nets, and exchanged them for Cameron Johnson from the Nets. Porter Jr. was once the top five-star high school student in the United States in 2017. His talent and potential are visible to the naked eye. His development in the NBA is not bad. He also received a maximum salary contract from the Nuggets, but after all, he is considered to have the opportunity to become one of the best players in the NBA. His current performance is also very different from everyone's expectations. I don’t know if he can play at a higher level after leaving the Nuggets to join the Nets.
