Trae Young Sets Lofty Scoring Expectation on Michael Porter Jr.

"You're averaging at least 25," said Trae to MPJ on his scoring for 2025-26. Traded to a tanking level Nets team, Porter Jr's scoring could go up from his 18.2 ppg on 50.2% shooting. He averaged 46 touches a game on a fairly stacked Nuggets squad in 2024-25. Fans can expect this to go up, which would mean more scoring.
