Well maybe he’s closer to a floor than a ceiling which is why he went undrafted?

His floor is that he never steps onto an NBA court.

Isn't that pretty much what Yabu's done for 3 years since we drafted him?

porter has real serious health risks. that is why this talented young man was not drafted. not only is HIS health a big question mark, but his family's DNA also seems to shout health risk.

from 2018...

Missouri sophomore Jontay Porter will miss the entire upcoming season after tearing his ACL and MCL on Sunday, the school announced.

...

He is the younger brother of  Michael Porter Jr., the former top recruit who missed the majority of his lone season at Missouri last year before being drafted in the first round of the NBA draft by the  Denver Nuggets in June.

...

Jontay Porter graduated high school a year early to play with Michael, but his brother played just three games last season and had back surgery in November.

Knee problems have been an issue for the Porter siblings in recent years. Bri Porter, Jontay and Michael's sister, retired from basketball before last season at Missouri after suffering her fifth ACL tear. Cierra, another sister who played at Missouri, medically retired in June -- with one year of eligibility left -- because of ongoing knee problems.

i dont mind the celtics bringing him in and seeing if he can help the team. but ainge et al may simply say that it is a waste of time and money given his health situation.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Yabu can run up and down the court without his knees breaking....

Had two ACL injuries in 8 months and will need 6-8 months at least to get well and then who knows with his health issues.
