Michael Porter Jr. is unlikely to ever make an All-Defensive team, but Nuggets coach Michael Malone doesn’t expect that.
What he does expect — and what Porter has exhibited through three games — is a willingness to commit at the defensive end, the side of the floor which has come much less naturally to the gifted 6-foot-10 forward.
“I’m on him a lot about his defense, but I think being a coach in a leadership position, you also have to reward them when they’re doing things correctly and build the confidence up,” Malone said. He was right. Porter’s effort was noticeably better in the second half against the Jazz when he hit the floor for a loose ball and appeared to cleanly block a dunk that was ultimately whistled a foul. On both plays Denver’s bench erupted in applause at Porter’s effort. His urgency on 3-point run-offs also caught his coach’s attention.
