I believe he's averaging something close to 10 points per game in the fourth quarter so far this season. The kid really just looks like a completely different player towards the end of games. His focus is much sharper, he doesn't rush things. Offensively, and defensively he's way more patient.

Dude plays pickup basketball for three quarters then turns into the most impactful player in the entire league for a single quarter. It's honestly hilarious (and scary for when he'll start dropping 35, 15, with 5 assists, 2 steals and 8 blocks a game)
He's the best incoming player I've seen since LeBron and the most underrated incoming player I've seen since DRose. People are too slow to acknowledge greatness.
I only saw the first half but it seemed to me he was nervous and tentative, missing easy passes and handoffs. I think he was a little starstruck with KD being his hero, and it makes total sense, he's just 19 and got stripped by KD in his first possession.
He'll be fine.
