Kevin Porter Jr. posted 22 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists and six steals to lead PAOK Thessaloniki past Maroussi BC 77 – 62 and toward securing a spot in the Greek League playoffs. PAOK gets the eighth seed and will face first-placed Panathinaikos Athens in the first round of the postseason.
It will be an interesting challenge for Porter to play in a series against a European powerhouse such as Panathinaikos, a team that completed the EuroLeague regular season as the second seed.
Against Maroussis, Porter played the whole 40 minutes of the game and shot 9 out of 18 from the field. In four games so far during his first overseas experiences, he averages 20.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.4 assists.
Former NBA and EuroLeague center Miroslav Raduljica led now eliminated Maroussi with 18 points.
