They followed that up with two more state championships in 2010 and 2011, with Otto Jr. leading the way.

Then along came Anthony "Moon" Timmons, who scored 47 points in the 1983 state championship game (a record that stood for years). After college, Marcus Timmons was invited to several NBA training camps, and he eventually settled on a long, successful career overseas.After Jerry came Mark Mosely, the son of Daisy Porter, Otto's little sister. After all, he is projected as a reserve. The 1980 Braves beat Slater 94-52 in the state championship game. Hey, I've been to Vegas and watched the Adidas Big Time. Which also provides a defensive component to join Kris Dunn’s backcourt defense.Porter is averaging just 12.6 points per game this season in the Wizards wonderland, though splitting time in the starting lineup and bench with Jeff Green amidst their dysfunction. With Wall’s injuries, he’s been freed up somewhat this season from his corner prison.

The Wizards Wednesday also traded Markieff Morris in an unusually lively trading week that also has included the likes of Harrison Barnes, Stanley Johnson, Ryan Anderson, Tyler Johnson, Tobias Harris, Reggie Bullock, Rodney Hood, Kristaps Porzingis and Dennis Smith Jr. changing jerseys.And though the Bulls won’t have substantial cap space this summer for maximum salaries, they still could have room to add veteran free agents.The Bulls have seven footer Lauri Markkanen as their future power forward. Along the way, the 6'4'' Porter, a smooth shooter who loved playing on the baseline, scored 143 points in the four-game state tournament series (still a record in Missouri), and grabbed 45 rebounds at the Final Four (a state record that stood for years), including 25 rebounds in the state finals (a state record the stood for years).There was Mayfield Timmons, who also starred on the "Show Me Kings" of 1979 and 1980. During those four years, the 6'8'' Timmons led the Braves to a 132-3 mark (34-0, 31-2, 32-1, 33-0) and was named "Mr. Show Me Basketball," the award given to the top player in the state of Missouri.If Otto Jr's team lost, and it caused one of the uncles to have to sit out a game...I've known his father, Otto Sr., and his uncles since I was in grade school.

To these boys, basketball is just a way of life, something that is more religion than sport. It wasn't until 1993 that the school won a state title without a Porter on the roster.Otto Porter Sr. graduated from Scott County Central in 1976, when he led the tiny school to a 32-1 record and its first ever state championship. Bobby Hatchett, the son of Mark Mosely (nephew of the Porters) was the point guard. Yes, been there, done that.Could the Bulls have gotten a top 10 small forward — perhaps their greatest need — in free agency? There are more people in most Chicago high-rises than the three combined. His junior year, Otto Jr. grabbed 36 rebounds in the state finals.The Braves' tallest player that year, Donnie McClinton, was 6'2''.Uncle Marcus Timmons was the most dominant of the Timmons' boys, starting on four consecutive state championship teams from 1988-1991. But then Porter got sentenced mostly to watch John dribble and catch and shoot threes.It also seems like the Bulls are done with this lottery thing. The family tradition had come full circle.So Otto Porter Jr. didn't travel around the country playing a bunch of meaningless AAU games.

All opinions expressed by Sam Smith are solely his own and do not reflect the opinions of the Chicago Bulls or its Basketball Operations staff, parent company, partners, or sponsors. Otto Porter Jr. has led Scott County Central to three straight Missouri Class 1 state titles and is a prized college recruit. We'll welcome him with open arms.”“We are excited to add Otto Porter to our team,” Bulls General Manager Gar Forman said in a statement when the team announced the trade. I've seen those 9:00 a.m. games, you know, the ones where it is the kids' seventh game in 36 hours, and none of them are playing hard.The Porter family had a member on the Braves' first 11 state championship teams. Which had only 32. So coming off a losing season and adding a high draft pick, which generally is anathema to top free agents (see LeBron James trading Andrew Wiggins as soon as he got off the plane in Cleveland), the Bulls likely realized free agency prospects would be unusually competitive in a shrinking field.
