Where did you come up with that? People bring up Prince as a comp because stylistically and body-wise they are similar, but Porter is better in nearly every way. To me, it's more likely that his floor is a Tayshaun Prince level player than his ceiling. I honestly don't know what his ceiling is, but it's certainly higher than Tayshaun Prince. At the same stage in their college careers Porter is the significantly better player. Porter also has a slightly thicker frame that should be able to support more weight.
He is not better in every way. Tayshaun was a 4x All-Defensive 2nd Team Defensive Player. There's no way that's his floor.
Porter's shooting is inconsistent to say the least, and he doesn't have superior athleticism or strength that high lottery picks usually have. In fact, there isn't a single thing about Porter's game that suggests to me he can be an All-Star caliber player.
