Wizards' Otto Porter: Contract extension looks unlikely

Porter isn't expected to come to terms with the Wizards on a contract extension before the upcoming season, J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

Analysis:

Porter's rookie-scale contract will come to an end next summer, so he'll become a restricted free agent at that time if he doesn't reach agreement on an extension. The former No. 3 overall pick is projected to start at small forward again in 2016-17 after turning in career-best production last season. He averaged 11.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 three-pointers across 30.3 minutes per game during his third NBA campaign.
