Lob Threat — 13.0 points a night, 13.7 points of True Shooting under the league's 82.0%, though the record has not followed — 26–42 across 68 games. Almost everything he touches ends in his own shot, and the live grade sits at C.
The lob threat since Game 001 — 3.3 dunks a night, 0.9 blocks (2nd in the league), and a Game 003 (28 and eight, Player of the Game) that told everybody what the ceiling looked like. He brings size, bounce and rim protection to a league that runs small, and when he is finishing — 70%-plus from the floor — his teams are 14–10. The honest part is the shot diet: 68.3% True Shooting is 13.7 points under the league, 3rd-lowest of the qualified, on a 84% keep rate and 2.1 assists — the ball goes up and it stays up. 26–42, 9 Hot Seats, and jspalt4 is 8–1 against him. Nobody is asking him to be a point guard. They're asking him to take the dunk, take the putback, and pass the rest. Do that and the 11–29 nights become 14–10 nights.

Everything he has done across 68 games. The Current Form tab carries the last 10.
Only 27% of his shots are threes, and nearly half his makes are dunks — he lives at the rim and behind the arc with little in between. And the ball tends to stop: he keeps 84% of what he touches, 2nd highest of 32.
Points per game says how much. These say how — and they are the whole difference between two men with identical scoring lines.
