Michael Porter Jr. might have, aesthetically, the most beautiful jumper in the league. It’s smooth, effortless, compact and, more often than not, dead-on. He still leaves a lot to be desired as a defender and playmaker but he’s improved enough that those enduring shortcomings don’t really matter for the Nuggets.

He’s improved enough as a defender and been much better on the boards to the point that he can swap roles with Aaron Gordon and handle 4s depending on the matchup. On offense, although you’d never want him to be a primary creator, he’s very good at exploiting mismatches and creating opportunities against defenses warped by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
He is not without his warts but he’s adapted enough to be exactly what the Nuggets need.
