42-29-56 shooting. 8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 21.4 minutes.
That’s 13.5 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per 36 minutes. His athleticism makes for good plays and his retaliation blocks are very fun to watch. I really hope he puts it all together. There is a fine line between potential and actual play. It’s like the difference between a Stromile Swift and Chris Bosh comparison. Chriss could still lean either way.
