2. Porter was a high school phenom
Porter was arguably the most decorated high school basketball player in the class of 2017. ESPN ranked Porter as the No. 1 player in his class, while recruiting hubs Rivals and Scout listed Porter at No. 2. As a senior at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle, Porter averaged 36.2 points and 13.6 rebounds per game. He led the school to its first state championship.
Porter also joined rare company when he was named the Naismith and Gatorade National Player of the Year. Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Chris Webber and Alonzo Mourning are the only other players to take home both awards.
