For NBA prospect Kevin Porter Jr., his basketball arsenal is similar to that of Houston Rockets star guard James Harden.
Per DraftExpressContent, 19-year-old USC standout shared that he's always been good at creating space on the offensive end just like Harden. He noted that his favorite go-to move is a step-back or sidestep jumper, which of course are some of Harden's signature moves.

Porter declared for the NBA Draft after just a year with the Trojans. In his freshman year, he averaged 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists. He also shot 47.1 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from downtown, though he shot at an abysmal 52.2 percent from the free-throw line.
The 6-foot-6 combo guard is expected to be picked in the first round. Porter possesses the versatility to match up with guards and forwards, but what sets him apart from most prospects of a similar frame is his playmaking ability.
Some, however, are worried that his relative inexperience will become a liability. After all, in his lone year with USC, he mostly came off the bench and also missed some time due to injuries and other issues.
Either way, Porter Jr. seems like a promising draft choice for most NBA teams.
