Mario Porter gives Rider a high-usage, two-way forward with star-level production
In the 2001-02 season, Mario Porter was a true centerpiece for Rider, averaging 20.1 points and 8.5 rebounds while also contributing 1.9 steals per game, which points to a forward who impacts winning on both ends.[1] He was the MAAC Player of the Year and an honorable mention All-American, and Rider’s own Hall of Fame notes him as the program’s only player with both 1,700 points and 700 rebounds, a strong sign of sustained elite production.[2] If you want a physical, efficient, defense-active forward who can carry offense and rebound like a pro, he’s a fit.[1][2]
