Chicago Bulls: 2018-19 player grades for Otto Porter Jr.
Highlights
While Porter suited up just 15 times for the Bulls, he did have a few solid performances. In the team’s 109-107 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Feb. 27, he finished the evening with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
Another one of Porter’s best performances came against the Atlanta Hawks on March 1 — a contest that spanned four overtime periods before the Bulls emerged victorious with a 168-161 win. In that game, he chipped in with 31 points (including seven 3-pointers) to go along with 10 rebounds, four assists and a steal.
