The Houston Rockets got Kevin Porter Jr. for almost nothing, only giving up a second-round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood have made the Rockets’ rebuild exciting, and the Houston Rockets definitely have a bright future.

Stephen Curry clearly respects Kevin Porter, as he highlighted one of the best game of Porter’s career, and suggested that Porter doesn’t need his help to improve. It is always good to see an older superstar shoutout an exciting young prospect. Kevin Porter Jr. is an elite talent: if he keeps developing, then the Houston Rockets may have a star for years to come.
