Obviously one of the bright spots of our season.
But I am glad to see he has been able to put up similar numbers without Durant.
I hope he continues to improve and expand his game. His ball handling should probably be what he works on next, as well as every facet of shooting. Defensively, being smarter about positioning, what offenses are trying to do, and when to go for a block vs when not to is the next step. He has acknowledged he has to bulk up more, so it goes without saying. If his shooting doesn’t improve, I see him as a modern day Joakim Noah (with more verticality)
I also hope (I am still salty) that his coach doesn’t bench a future DPOY with 4 minutes to go in a must win game in lieu of getting shredded by a skilled offensive player in the future.
Surprised DeAndre Jordan or Tyson Chandler never had these stats
Tremendous
Efficiency God
