If their minds weren’t already made up, third-year point guard Kevin Porter Jr. may have recently given the Houston Rockets front office even more to consider when it comes to the debate over his next contract.
With veterans Eric Gordon, Christian Wood, and Dennis Schroder resting to finish the 2021-22 season, Porter took on a higher workload and averaged 28.7 points, 7.4 assists, and 7.3 rebounds in 38.3 minutes over the final seven games. He shot 48.0% from the field, 40.3% on 3-pointers 86.7% on free throws, and limited his turnovers to just 3.0 per game.
