  • He is currently 3089 points behind the leader: Nikola Jokic
  • He should be doing much better than this. You might be able to get him now for a discount.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 3.9 PPG. If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.

  • Shooting 75.56% from the field this month. Very impressive for a big man.
  • Assists per game numbers are 0.92 apg.

  • Performance Stats
