Jontay Porter can defend. Whether its one on one, help defence, defensive rebounding or shot-blocking, Porter is solid at the defensive end of the court. He is helped by good athleticism and good footwork. During the 2017-18 season at Missouri, he averaged 1.7 blocks and 6.8 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per game.

He shot over 36 percent last season from behind the arc which is fairly good. It will help any NBA franchise spacing the floor at the offensive end. Porter has good post skills and the size to establish position down low.

Porter is also a good interior passer. When setting picks, whether he rolls or pops, Porter is able to finish plays inside or out. He is also capable of putting the ball on the floor and creating his own shot out on the perimeter. Essentially, Porter has a complete game. He does many things well at both ends of the floor.
