    Im not sure if high praise or damning praise but Love's admiration for Porter is sincere.

    “I was actually telling Channing [Frye] not too long ago, that if you look at our entire team, and you take Kevin Porter Jr., and you stack him up – he was by far, by far the most talented guy we had on our roster,” Love said.

    "Kevin Love says Kevin Porter Jr. was ‘by far’ most talented Cavs player, compares him to Russell Westbrook - Cavaliers Nation" https://cavaliersnation.com/2021/02/03/kevin-love-says-kevin-porter-jr-was-by-far-most-talented-cavs-player-compares-him-to-russell-westbrook/amp/

    Let's hope so. We then need to think which player(s) would be best to mentor him.
    Wall? Woods?

    EGo, let's keep him on straight and narrow. Or Tucker, Porter is underrated defender.

    Wall has affiliations with gangs.

    Wood still figuring out his own path.

    Although would love for him and Wood to develop on court chemistry too.

    He's gone through a lot and has a lot to shed. I think it takes a tribe to get KPJ right mentally. So it'll be by committee with Lucas at the forefront I would believe. . . except KPJ is in the G-League Bubble and Lucas is not lol...

    Unless you have ESPN+, only 2 of the 15 Vipers games will be on NBATV: Feb 21st and Mar 5th games

    ROX are winning right now. Developing the young guys has taken a back seat to fighting for that 8th spot!

    John Wall I think because of his Gang Ties.

    Kevin Porter Jr. hung out with bad groups, I think bring out the worst in him.
