Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. demonstrated his shooting ability with a highlight reel of contested three-pointers. Acquired before the 2025-26 NBA season from the Denver Nuggets, Porter averaged 24.2 points per game last season. He led the NBA in contested three-point attempts per game, converting 35.3% of those shots under tight coverage. As the Nets focus on rebuilding, Porter is expected to play a vital role in creating offensive opportunities. He may benefit from the addition of Julius Randle, who is likely to draw defensive attention, allowing Porter more open looks.
