YRG GOD

The jumper showed up, and it changed everything. After a couple of cold-shooting nights to open his run, YRG GOD went a perfect 9-of-9 from the field for 20 points with four blocks in the Game 039 rout — a block total that still sits fourth on the all-time single-game list. The season line — 11 points, 5.9 boards, 1.4 blocks a night on 55.4% — is a two-way big finding his floor, and at 4-4 the record is one good night from flipping. He rebounds, he protects the rim, and when the Game 039 scoring shows up again the profile reads like a starter's.
