My favorite thing, that is in all the clips, is that he is playing within himself and nothing is really being forced. He is asserting himself by attacking what is given to him, and it is leading to active help defense & making reads to setup teammates. This is all sustainable/repeatable, so I am excited to see what comes next.

He’s learning to use his strength and get deeper positioning, like a true 4 should. The middy is fine and all, but we’ve seen that piece from him before. I like that he’s muscling dudes inside more, get em the fuck off you Pat, what the hell’s the point of lifting all those weights otherwise.

Good shit. He’s finally learning that he can bully people and do things that 80-90% of the league can’t do in some of those positions.

I’ve been critical of him, but I’m so happy to eat shit when I see him play like he has recently. I’m super proud of him and we are seeing him grow into the player we know he can be!! It looks like he believes in himself now more than before, which is so important. Dude has a top 5% basketball build, with an aggressive mindset and continued development of skills he will be unstoppable.
