Kevin Porter Jr. paces the Bucks in all passing categories on the season. However, he's taken it to new heights recently.
Porter was averaging 7.4 assists on 13.9 potential assists and 59 passes per game before his injury back in mid-January.

Porter has seen a 4.7% assist rate bump with Giannis Antetokounmpo off the floor this season.
