Two games, two wins, and a debut nobody in the building will forget — 23 points on 11-of-13 with six dunks, bullying the paint from the opening possession. Game 016 showed the other side: 4-of-13 when the interior looks dried up, because the three-ball (35.7% so far) isn’t a counter yet. The 1.5 steals a night is already real, and 4-2 says the team wins when he plays. The scouting report going around the league is simple: wall off the paint and make him shoot. What happens next depends on his answer to it. One number that stands out for the wrong reason: 57% of their made field goals are dunks. When they drive, they’re looking to finish — not to read the defense and find who’s open. At 1.2 assists per game that pattern is hard to ignore, and it’s exactly what clogs a lane and limits what the offense can do around them.
