Rockets Legend is Ecstatic That Houston Has Found The ‘Next James Harden’ in Young Star Guard: “Sky is the Limit For Him”

Months ago, the Houston Rockets parted ways with James Harden. While he looked to pursue a title elsewhere, the team’s core ended up shifting. However, as per Rockets legend, Gerald Green, the team has nothing much to worry about with Kevin Porter Jr on their roster.

Green was on the Inside Buzz with Mikey Domagala, where they discussed various topics revolving around the Rockets. The 36-year-old spoke of the 2018 NBA playoffs, and how they had a shot if Chris Paul hadn’t injured himself.

Let’s take a look at what Green had to say about Porter.

Even if they have good players on the team, the Rockets have to learn how to win. That, as per Green, is the most difficult part. He even focused on Jalen Green, who could grow to become a star if he focuses.

“I think Christian Wood is pretty much there. He’s just got to keep on staying the course and just keep on being consistent,” Green said. He believes that it’s God’s limit for him.

Green also had some special comments about Porter as well. “We could be looking at the next James Harden with him. That’s just my opinion.”

Porter is averaging 13.2 points and 4.2 rebounds this season, shooting 38.1% from the field and 34.4% from the three-point range. His talent seems to be appreciated in Houston, and will hopefully lead them towards consistent victory soon.
