Our man in Otto Porter

Then there’s Otto Porter, Jr. The quiet superstar. I have to admit something when he lit up Golden State back in October. Although the Wizards lost that battle they won the war. It was at that moment that I knew that they could beat any team.

Before the argument begins about a series. One has to do a Beal stepback. Porter was the best player on the floor for both teams when they played the Warriors.

Porter rose to the occasion and put the league on notice, giving them a taste of things to come.

Every time Porter stepped on the three-point line an angel got its wings.
