Full disclosure: The plan was to write about Kevin Porter Jr. in August, but obviously the NBA news cycle does not care about my plans.

Well, here we are. The most under-discussed topic of the Houston Rockets’ offseason has reared its ugly head. For those who don’t know, if things stand pat, 22-year-old guard Kevin Porter Jr. will become a restricted free agent next summer. That means this summer, Porter is an obvious extension candidate for the Rockets.

Should the Rockets actually go ahead and extend him?
