NBA Playoffs 2018: Top 10 role players who'll make a difference

#6 Otto Porter Jr.

Otto Porter Jr raised his game in John Wall's absence

Otto Porter Jr, while not an All-Star by any stretch of the imagination, is one of the most efficient scorers in the NBA right now. During the initial stretch of the John Wall MCL injury absence in February, Porter played pretty much like one with stats of 19.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists while shooting 52.3% from the field and 40.7% from behind the arc.

Porter has season averages of 14.7 points per game on 50.2% shooting from the field and a red-hot 44.1% from downtown. He has also been a two-way presence, averaging 1.5 steals a game and guarding a variety of assignments on switches.

The Wizards will need him to keep performing at the same level to have any chance of making it to the second round of the playoffs.
