Through the first three games he's averaging:

21 points, 6.6 assists, 8.6 rebounds, 3 Blocks

Had a triple-triple last night as well

He clearly looks better this season, more confident, his offensive game looks more polished, and his defense has looked elite thus far, very nice to see after having a bit of a sophomore slump last season...it will be interesting to see if he and Siakam can co-exist in that offense

Cade, Mobley and Scottie all looked good tonight. Excited to see them develop this year

The sophomore slump is real, it's so simple but people just forget.

Stat inflation is out of control.

Did you unflair yourself so people wouldn’t think you were a Raptors fan posting about Scottie?

The top contenders in that draft class seem to have all leaped together. Cade, Mobley and Barnes have been doing great.

Most of the 2021 draft has great start this year

It is about times

Yup, Scottie, Cade, Mobley, Franz, and Giddey all look like they're going to develop into All-Stars...Jalen Suggs and Jalen Green look like they might end up being "busts" unfortunately...the Jury is still out on Kuminga but I think he's going to end up being really good once he develops more

His fadeaway has felt borderline automatic this year.

He is, and still has time to make cookies for his grandchildren.
