Michael Porter Jr. and the Denver Nuggets reached an agreement on a five-year maximum rookie contract extension worth up to $207 million, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Without incentives, Porter Jr.'s contract is worth $172 million.

Max based on past performance? No. He's nowhere near the impact that guys like Luka have with 19-7.
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
