Jalen Johnson, lock Donovan Mitchell, lock Scotty Barnes, lock ish.

Michael Porter jr.

Ended up being a lock.

Averaging 26-7-3.

26-7-3.

The Nets are terrible, but Michael Porter Jr.

has acquitted himself very well this season, fellas.

As a guy who was a third or fourth piece on a Denver Nuggets championship team and whose, I think, success was largely attributed to an ecosystem built around Jokic and Jamal Murray,

that he is a centerpiece and he's not overdoing it.

He's not forcing it.

He's not saying, all right, shit, man, I'm the only established guy in this locker room.

I'm just going to just like, you know, jack it up every game.

He's not doing that.

He's playing team ball.

Like, yeah.

But we've seen the reverse of that too, Raja, right?

Where a guy is so good as a role player, even a high-level role player, and then they go to their own team and it's like, you are not equipped for this.

Or their guy goes down, the star goes down, and they have too much responsibility.

Not everybody can handle it.

And the Nets are rebuilding to be charitable, right?
