The article from Singer can be read here, and his tweet can be seen in a post that is embedded below.
Porter Jr. is averaging 9.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in nine games.
He's 23-years-old and was the 13th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
The Nuggets are 9-8 in their first 17 games of the season after getting blown out by the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night, and have had several key players in and out of the lineup.
Last season they made the second round of the NBA Playoffs, but were swept by the Suns.
They have had plenty of good regular seasons, so their season will be defined by how they do in the playoffs.
