Milwaukee Bucks General Manager Jon Horst recognizes the potential risks involved in acquiring guard Kevin Porter Jr. from the Los Angeles Clippers.
However, Horst is confident that Porter has moved past his previous off-court and locker-room troubles, believing he has grown and matured since those issues.
“I think we have an opportunity to help (him) continue on the path of what he’s on, which is improving and growing. There’s no question that if he does that, we think he can help us,” Horst told Eric Nehm of The Athletic.
“So there’s a chance for a win-win. But, it’s not unlike any other transaction. There’s risk. And it’s not a five-year commitment and a massive, major thing. I mean, this is a bet, and for him, it’s an opportunity to help us and grow and improve, and he’s been doing it. And that’s what all of our due diligence showed us. And if he does that, he could be a pretty good fit with us. I know he’s excited to be here and we’re excited to have him.”
