Fresh off a much-needed Rockets win in Dallas, Thursday’s episode of “The Lager Line” welcomes starting point guard Kevin Porter Jr. to the show for a review of the 2022-23 season to date.
For the season, Porter is averaging a career-high 19.1 points (41.0% FG, 33.8% on 3-pointers), 6.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.3 steals, and he’s potentially sticking around in Houston for several more years after signing a contract extension in October.
Topics discussed on the podcast include Porter’s assessment of the team’s season to date and his personal performance; the importance of head coach Stephen Silas and lead assistant John Lucas in his development; growth shown by second-year prospects Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, and Usman Garuba; and much more.
The episode concludes with a look at Porter’s new business venture, Sukuta, which features digital collectibles, interactive behind-the-scenes opportunities for fans, and beyond.
