He’s also 16th in FG%, 24th in 3P%, 13th in 2P%, 22nd in FT%, 15th in PER, and 15th in VORP.

As a rookie.

I though he was gonna be good but I didn’t think he was going to play like one of the best players in the league his rookie season. He’s been absolutely ridiculous on both ends, he doesn’t force anything and he plays with the IQ and maturity of a player that’s been in the league for 5+ years. What’s crazy is he keeps on getting better every game, the last 5 games for example he’s averaging 23/9 with 2.6 blocks on 73.5%(!!!) TS. Just insane stuff.

I don't care if he's playing on a better team, those shooting splits are no joke. He's easily performing better than Wemby.

Insane efficiency but I expect it to go down. I want him to show a bit more of playmaking he definitely has potential there.

[–] figgnootun@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The only reason I expect it to go down a little is because he is shooting worse on wide open 3s (41%) than on open 3s(defender within 6 feet, over 55% on low volume). But I still think he floats close to 40% maybe like 38-39%

He'll start getting defended way more tightly on 3's. Feel like he's gotten a lot of open looks from opposition bigs so far.

I mean tough for it to go up lol

Allstar

If he plays the whole year like this it's a lock. Not sure if it's sustainable, fun to watch regardless though.

And yet u/round-revolution-399 said that he isn’t anywhere near Wemby as a player and he even doubled down on it

The dedication

I'm ngl I'm pretty convinced he's the 4th best center in the league already.
