START OF ARTICLE QUOTATION:
Missouri freshman Michael Porter Jr. worked his way to the court following back surgery, but some folks around the NBA have harsh views on the 19-year-old following the Tigers' first-round NCAA tournament loss.
According to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports, one scout described Porter as "soft." Another wondered why he didn't return to the court sooner; others viewed him as "too cool."
Porter was just two minutes into his Mizzou debut when he had to leave injured, and he had spinal surgery in November.
Unfortunately for the Tigers, his return didn't produce positive results. They went 0-2, losing in both the second round of the SEC tournament and the opening round of the NCAA tournament.
