Tajuan Marquis Porter (born March 9, 1988) is an American former professional basketball player. He played college basketball for Oregon.
Porter attended Renaissance High School in Michigan (Porter's former Oregon teammate, Malik Hairston, also attended Renaissance High School). He led Renaissance to two state championships (2004, 2006) and a four-year record of 93–10. As a junior, he averaged 19.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game while garnering first team all-state, all-league and all-city honors. In a 67–50 win against Rogers, he recorded a quadruple-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals. As a senior, he averaged 26.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 5.0 steals per game. He was named first team all-state at the end of both his junior and senior campaigns.[1]
College career
A 5-foot-7-inch (1.70 m) point guard, Porter was one of the shortest NCAA Division I college basketball players. He was considered one of the top freshmen in the country during the 2006–07 season. He had his best career game against Portland State. Against the Vikings, he scored 38 points, including 10–12 from three-point field goal range.[2] The 10 three-point field goals shattered the single game Oregon record. His 110 made three-point field goals is an Oregon single-season record, and is good enough for the all-time Pac-10 freshman record. After the Ducks won the 2007 Pac-10 tournament against the University of Southern California, he was named the tournament's MVP.[1]
Porter holds the school and Pac-10 Conference record for most career 3-pointers made with 345. He also ranks eighth in school history for career field goals made (584) and ninth in career steals (103).[1]
