Michael Porter Jr. – Atlanta Hawks

Like his old AAU teammate Trae Young, and every other prospect, the Cleveland Cavaliers would be a dream come true for Michael Porter Jr. Depending on his health, he could end up right where they’re drafting. However, another great fit would be the Atlanta Hawks. Atlanta doesn’t have a lot going for it with few exciting prospects. Porter Jr. could come in as the new de facto franchise player, which would suit him.

From high school and AAU, Porter is used to the spotlight and is a legitimate franchise player. He fits in well with Dennis Schroder and Taurean Prince. Even more importantly, he’d get to play for one of the brilliant offensive minds in the NBA. Mike Budenholzer is the kind of coach that can help Porter reach his offensive ceiling. Sometimes it’s great to join a stacked team, but other times it’s better to be there on the ground floor and build something new.
