He's cooking right now. Points, rebounds and blocks.

only his 2nd year but he was 13th pick last season. Was high on him after last season and he seems to have taken a jump.

Thoughts about him so far this season?

stats: 18.0 points, 15.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 blocks

Ous isn’t playing like shit cause he’s out of position. His mintues at center aren’t helping, sure. He’s playing a lot better than he did last year, but he’s also still got a long way to go to being a valuable, positive contributor. He’s still far too often unsure what to do on either end, lacks assertiveness and quick decision-making. Can those things be developed with experience? Sure. What’s the likelihood they will? Uhhh… the track record isn’t great but never say never. He still has potential and I hope he hits it.

But, Duren already looked like a stud last year. All I was trying to say that one year in, it’s clear Duren is the better asset, and I’m sure if you asked Sam now with hindsight, he’d agree.
