Draymond Green says Michael Porter Jr. admitted he didn’t prepare after missing the All-Star team, and the slump may have kept him in Brooklyn instead of landing a trade and extension elsewhere
"Michael Porter Jr. talked about losing his drive last season post-All-Star break. He said, ‘For most of the season, I was shooting 40% from three. After I wasn’t selected as an All-Star, I kind of lost my drive."
"I regret it, but I just didn’t have any motivation left. We weren’t playing for anything more. We weren’t going to make the playoffs. I didn’t even make All-Stars, so I got discouraged. I wasn’t even going to the gym like I used to before. I didn’t prepare. My three-point percentage just tanked.'"
"I think had he played well down the stretch, he may not be in Brooklyn anymore. He may be traded somewhere with an extension. There are consequences to every action, and I think that’s one of the consequences for Michael Porter Jr."
