He has been playing really well this season. He is averaging 21.2/8.8/2.8/1.4/0.4 on a very nice 62.1% TS. I saw a lot of people saying it was gonna take some time for him to shake off the rust but he came swinging (no pun intended) right out of the gate. He has also been one of the best defenders on the team this season. The thing that has impressed me the most is that he hasn’t any bad games, he has been doing a lot of stuff outside of scoring that we didn’t see a lot of in previous years. The only bad scoring he has had was against the Celtics when he scored 14 shooting 3-13 from the field but he made up for it with 15 rebounds, 5 assists and some super important plays in the clutch. He also hit all 6 of his free throws. He played really well toinght leading the Hornets in scoring with 23 points on 9-17 FG and managing to 10 rebounds.

Right where he left off!
He’s really beating expectations…Hasn’t really choked under the pressure… He’ll likely hit the wall though soon.
Damn 5 games goes by quick
Gotta give him credit thus far. Other comparable players like Sprewell and Artest who basically missed full seasons due to suspension seemed like they lost a step when they returned.
