What's more, his playing time clocked in at 38 minutes per contest, an incredible number by any standards.

In PAOK's 96-99 overtime loss to Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens in Game 2 for the Greek league quarter-finals, Porter Jr. stayed on the court for the entire duration of the game (45 minutes) and registered 23 points on 9/21 from the field (1/7 from distance), 4/9 free throws, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.

The 24-year-old also committed 5 turnovers and made 3 steals and one block for a PIR of 32. He had the chance to hand PAOK the win at the end of regulation, but his layup attempt was blocked by Mathias Lessort with 1,9'' remaining on the clock.

In PAOK's previous losing effort in Game 1 against the EuroLeague title contenders, he had 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Even though his numbers would make him a coveted player among EuroLeague teams, the player has declared his devotion to PAOK.

"If it's up to me, I don't see myself [in any other club] when it comes to overseas standpoint if I'm staying out here [for] another year," he recently stated. "If I have [the] opportunity to go back to the NBA, then I'll probably go back to the NBA. If it's not the NBA, I don't want to play for no other club than PAOK."

"I feel like they welcomed me and gave me the chance that a lot of people looked over. I'm very grateful. It's a family here, it's very family-oriented. That's what I needed to get out of the shell I was in, so I can't see myself playing for any club overseas besides PAOK," Porter Jr. said.
