Otto Porter, Jr. #49 Porter remains a conundrum in Washington. He’s a solid two-way player who has become one of the NBA’s best shooters. Despite that, there is an annual debate in Washington over why Porter isn’t more involved in the Wizards offense. He simply needs to get more shots this season than the 11.5 per game he took last year. Post national NBA writer Tim Bontemps surveyed the NBA and ranked his top 100 players according to their overall talent level heading into the new season. Though it’s a new season, players aren’t starting from scratch. We’ve included a trend line to denote whether a player is on the upswing of his career, having jumped five or more spots from last season, starting to decline, having dropped five or more spots from last season, or expected to stay relatively consistent to previous performance by remaining within five spots of where they were last season. See how they stack up. www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/sports/nba-top-100-players-2018/?utm_term=.7f9add196596

Otto Porter Jr. one of my favorite Hoyas sounds hauntingly like JT3: “One thing about me that my family installed in me was: ‘You’re a ballplayer. You’re not a wing player. You’re not a post player. You’re not a point guard. You’re a ballplayer,' ” says Porter, who, at 25, is entering his sixth season in Washington. “You need to be able to do it all, you know? And that’s what I was growing up.” “I don’t think that being aggressive is against Otto’s nature,” says his former Georgetown coach, John Thompson III. “I think that sometimes the way that the world will want him to be aggressive is against his nature.” www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/10/17/otto-porter-jr-plays-right-way-more-is-expected-max-player/?utm_term=.62b50e7fad99

What is wrong with the Wizards and Otto? Losing to the Kings?! Jeff seems to be outplaying Otto according to the stats.

The Wizards are so screwed up. Leading into the season, the coach (plus wall and beal) kept saying that Otto needed to shoot more, especially more 3s. After the Sacramento loss, they are saying that "some players" are too concerned about "getting their shots" - with the strong implication they are talking about Otto.
So what is Otto supposed to do with all that? He really needs to get to a functional organization. he is such a smart, sound, winning player. Of course he sticks out like a sore thumb on the Wizards. Beal is the only other player on their roster that belongs in the starting lineup of a really good team. For all his talent, Wall's play is far too often all over the place. they are a painful team to watch. Because of their solid talent, they have stretches where they look really good. Because they are a bunch of knuckleheads, they also have stretches where they look terrible. I really think that until the Wall era is over, they are going to remain a talented but erratic team.

Otto still hasn't developed a handle. Teams aggressively close out on him and he's not able to create scoring opportunities out of it. He needs to watch Redick and how he attacks closeouts. That's a major reason why his shots won't increase.

Wall’s a cancer. Washington will go nowhere as long as he runs the show.

Otto is NOT playing like himself this year at all. Not shooting much, or accurately, has had a couple of one rebound games, and just looks completely lethargic. If he is not hurt, then I cannot imagine what has happened to him.
BTW...Wall has not fed Otto nearly enough the past couple of years, for sure...but its more than just that at this point. Hopefully he returns to the OP of the past two years soon.

Wall’s a cancer. Washington will go nowhere as long as he runs the show. Been saying this for years. I got laughed at on here for saying the exact same thing and suggesting the wizards should try and trade Wall for Lillard a couple years back... Wall's issue with OP in part has to do with OP being the highest paid player on the roster this season even though Wall's extension kicks in next season. Speaking about his extension and the Wizards playing the Clippers tonight. They should copy the Clips when they realized they couldn't win and moved off of paying often injured Chris Paul $40 Million a year and trade Wall asap. They should try and sucker the Kings or Lakers for some of their young players and get some cap relief before (the often injured and bad knees) Wall's nearly $40 mill becomes an anchor around their necks and he becomes un-movable!

Wish Otto Porter, Jr. was on a Popovich-coached team.

I was okay with Wall until this year. He really isn't move as well as he did. His knees legs / knees look like they are already giving him problems. If OP is open in a good spot, Wall will not pass it, but will pass it when OP is covered. Last night's game Wall dunked and it was painful and it looked as if much of his bounce is gone. He is still fast, but has lost a step, but he seems to be missing his explosiveness. Wall has been a player who has a lot of upsides so the BS he also brings is sort of tollerable. Now the upsides have slipped and the BS is getting worse. I would think either would be traded this year to a team going places.
