Week 8 : 42-44-67 shooting. 8.5 points, 5.8 assists and 0.3 steals in 27.8 minutes.
Week 9 : 46-0-100 shooting. 10 points, 4 assists and 0.3 steals in 27.3 minutes.

Maybe the early season struggles did have a lot to do with his injury and recovery this off season. It seems as time goes on he is playing better and better. One big piece of evidence to support this claim is his three point percentage. Since 11/17 he has made 36% of his shots from beyond the arc. Before that, he only made 2 of his 20 treys (10%).
