He's not the worst play ever. He's just the 3rd worst player who has played at least 20 games and at least 9 MPG this season. Marquis Teague has a PER of 2.3, Anthony Bennett has a PER of 4.1, Porter's is 4.2.
Yeah, but PER has serious issues. If you go by my stat, 10 players have been less productive per minute than Porter this season (minimum 200 minutes).
Point still remains true, whether its 3rd worst or 10th worst. Porter is having a terrible season and is very much in the mix of most unproductive players this season.
Shoulda used green font.
No question Porter is having a bad season. The issue is whether or not he's a bust. I don't think so -- at least not based on 200 minutes of what hopefully will be a 20,000+ minute career.
That said, Grunfeld has quite the resumé of picking unproductive players. Last season's least productive center: Seraphin. Least productive PF: Vesely. Singleton was in the mix for least productive PF as well.
