My Take
What strikes me about Bobby Portis is how a 22nd overall pick out of Arkansas turned into a fan favorite through sheer effort. Standing 211 cm, he plays bigger than a role player should, and I respect that he became a beloved fixture in Milwaukee rather than chasing the spotlight elsewhere. Earning consensus All-American honors as a sophomore told me early on he had the work ethic, and the SEC Player of the Year nod backed it up. I tend to root for guys like this, the ones whose value lives in the gritty stuff the box score undersells.
