Hustle Piece — 9.7 points a night, 15.7 points of True Shooting under the league's 82.0%, and his teams win — 10–7 across 17 games. Almost everything he touches ends in his own shot, and the live grade sits at C.
The best shot-blocker in the league by rate — 0.9 a night, 1st of 32 — and 4.3 rebounds (6th) in 17 games, so the hustle piece is real: he brings size, effort and a record of 10–7 on teams that were better with him on the floor (+1.9 a game). Game 039: 20 points, four blocks. The honest part is the shot, and it's not close: 66.3% True Shooting is 15.7 points under the league, 2nd-lowest of the qualified; 48.3% from three on 3.5 attempts a night that should be roughly zero attempts; and 2-of-10 from the line for the season is a genuine phenomenon. Under 20 PRF in 76% of games. The prescription writes itself: rebound, block, dunk, run. Never shoot a three again. That guy is a rotation big; the guy taking 3.5 threes a night is a Hot Seat waiting to happen.
The men he has played beside longest, the one he wins with, the one who has his number — and the one he keeps losing with.
