New Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. says that he gains confidence from taking on defensive challenges under head coach Doc Rivers and his staff (averaging 1.6 SPG in five games played).

(via Milwaukee Bucks):

“Doc don’t play about defense. He wants us to lock up, and that’s first thing is first. Many people know me for playmaking and my offensive game, but I love playing defense. I love taking the challenge, and they see that there and they embrace it and it gives me more confidence guarding the best guys out there and challenging them and taking that challenge.”
