What Otto Porter is doing right now in the playoffs for the Washington Wizards is surprising considering he is in only a year removed from a season where the fans had to cheer him into games. He played a major role in the Wizards third quarter scoring outburst of 37 points, and was a key factor in the Wizards being able to pull out a 117-106 win in Toronto. Porter has certainly grown into a player that can be relied on by the Wizards in clutch situations and for the future.
Porter scored a playoff career high 15 points while also adding in 9 rebounds, a steal, and an assist in 34 minutes of play. Keeping these numbers up when given opportunities will help the Wizards advance in the playoffs and will even help Porter guarantee himself a spot in the rotation for years to come. Porter has just began to dig into his potential, and will be relied on heavily to produce off the bench.
