He's a borderline star, though. He went from injured to putting up 9pts/5reb to 19pts/7reb on very efficient numbers last season. I'd definitely estimate he's in for some star numbers and Nuggets can't afford to lose a guy who may put up 20-30 ppg this year.
I'm glad we got a top 5 picks that year, but if we didn't get Luka, I was all in on Porter as a longshot

"Very efficient" is an understatement. He had the most efficient 19+ PPG season ever. Now of course, that's still a huge gamble, but we don't actually know if there are injury clauses in the contract, similar to what Embiid's first contract had.
