Jontay Porter Signs Contract




Could this be the steal of the summer?
Jontay Porter has signed a two-year contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, his agent, Mark Bartelstein, told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Tuesday. The deal is reportedly worth $1.5 million, with a player option for the second season.
Porter, 23, is a 6'11" forward who was selected by the Grizzlies with the 32nd overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft. He has spent the past three seasons with the Grizzlies' G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle, where he has averaged 11.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.
Porter is a skilled scorer and rebounder with good size and athleticism. He is also a good passer and defender. He is expected to compete for a spot in the Grizzlies' rotation next season.
The Grizzlies are coming off a disappointing season in which they finished 22-60. They are hoping that Porter can help them improve next season.
Porter is a talented player with a lot of potential. He is still young and has a lot to learn, but he has the potential to be a good NBA player. The Grizzlies are taking a chance on him, but it could pay off big time.
