Dude...you're the one that said he's Paul George with less athleticism. George is largely reliant on his athleticism, which is significantly better than Porter's. It's not a comparison.
I'm not looking for an argument. I'm looking for people to make a more reasonable comparison for a guy I think is being over-rated and compared to someone he has no business being compared to.
Here's a good place to start from...Porter is a similar player to Luol Deng. That way you can subtract George's athleticism from the equation and pick a player that I think would be a best case scenario for Porter.
Porter is a similar player to Luol Deng, except I disagree that is his ceiling. At this stage, it's arguable that Porter is the better passer (can be a point forward) and moves off the ball exceptionally well--better than Deng. Porter also has a high rate of steals (1.8 spg) and blocks (0.9 bpg) for a player at his position. Combine that with a no-nonsense -- almost humble -- approach to the game, I don't think we can be wrong with this guy.
