The most important ratingto look at on NBADraft.net when judging prospects is the INTANGIBLES rating

You will be surprised to see how many players with 8-10 in intangibles have gone bust.

 

In defense of Porter, wasn't he was helping Sterling Brown who was getting attacked?

You want players that "have your back" and not run away

 

Yes, it's commendable that he was helping Sterling Brown, but at the same time, he put himself in a situation that lends itself to trouble. Porter has a history of behavioral problems as well, which is the reason why Cleveland let him go for peanuts. I do not think we can EVER rely on Kevin Porter Jr to be the team's leader -- that's just not who he is. He's extraordinarily talented on the court, but he's not the leadership type.

 

I understand what you're saying and it's a matter of opinion; which you are
entitled to have.

I just wanted to state for the record he was protecting and not initiating a fight.

 

You're not going to be able to quantify intangibles so whatever website is giving out whatever numerical value to these players is seeing everything through subjective eyes. Would you rate Shane Battier's intangibles as a 5 or 6 because he doesn't snarl or get angry during games? Would you rate Tim Duncan's intangibles as a 7 or 8 because he's quiet?

 

Neither of those guys were 2 time players of the year for California (not done since Jrue Holiday) or dominated the PAC 12 in his first and only college season.

Tim Duncan, Chris Bosh even AD were all bigs who were not vocal leaders.
