@Netswamp: “Michael Porter Jr. deserves a ton of praise for his shot and play making so far this year. But I can’t say enough about his leadership. Made a conscious effort to give props and name every rookie in his postgame press conference. I’ve become a real fan of his”
@NetsPressIG: “Michael Porter Jr is a solidified star & is exactly what Nets fans wanted out of Cam Thomas The Nets are 4-2, potentially about to be 5-2 when MPJ scores 30+ points. That’s how you know a player impacts the game as a winner. Thomas has had five years to do that here but hasn’t.”
@NetsKingdomAJ: “Can any team in the NBA truly guard this man? He’s unstoppable. Michael Porter Jr ..7+ 30 point games this season on 61.2 % TS …38% from 3. #Netsworld”
@BillyReinhardt: “I don’t care what the Nets’ record ends up being around the time All-Stars are decided, Michael Porter Jr. should be on that East team if he keeps up this play. In the past, media/fans didn’t have access to analytics that would capture individual player impact/value beyond associating players with good/bad teams. Porter Jr. is playing like a star in volume, efficiency, and impact. He deserves it.”
@erikslater_: “Michael Porter Jr. over his last 12 games: 27.6 points (14th in NBA) 7.3 rebounds 3.3 assists 50% FG 41% 3P 83% FT The Nets are 5-7 during that span.”
