00:00He's shooting about a shot and a half less a game, 1.5.
00:04He's getting up the same amount of threes,
00:06which tells you he is skewing towards the perimeter,
00:09and he's a perimeter-heavy player anyway.
00:11I actually think watching him, he's been better than I thought
00:14about mixing it up with contact and driving into the lane.
00:19That's better than I thought, but then I look at the shot totals,
00:21and he's really shooting more threes on a per-minute basis
00:24than he ever has in his life.
00:25Yeah, so we'll see if that levels off a little bit, too,
00:28because he said it's four games, for example,
00:30and he did take a lot of shots over the weekend
00:32against a horrible, horrible Washington team,
00:34so we'll see how that balances out a little bit.
00:37Also, I feel like defensively, he's also had some possessions
00:40where you're like, all right, he's kind of moving,
00:42and there's a contact there.
00:43I didn't think that looked good the first game or two,
00:45Dallas and the Cavs.
00:46I think that's gotten better the last couple, yeah.
00:49Yeah, the Spurs game, there was definitely a few times
00:51in that they can play physical, and so, yeah, Washington is a joke.
00:55He probably had better competition when he was playing
00:57with the Red Claws and, like, running up and down with those guys,
01:00so it's hard to take too much of what happened in the game
01:03outside of, like, all right, you knew you were going to win it.
01:05Just get the win and look to see what else you can improve on,
01:09and the thing that jumps out to me is just the playing time.
01:12I thought, because we talked about it for months, as everybody did.
01:16When is he going to return?
01:18What's he going to look like?
01:19What are you going to get in the playoffs?
01:21And I remember even thinking, because it was such an unknown
01:24with the Achilles injury and coming back in season,
01:27could he play 20 minutes in the playoffs?
01:30He just played 32 against the Wizards.
01:33Yeah, I did.
01:33So, like, he's going to play 36 minutes.
01:36I don't think there's going to be, unless there's a setback,
01:39I don't think there's going to be any restriction come playoff time.
01:42Like, not only is he starting, kind of a no-brainer,
01:44but, like, play as much as you want.
01:46He and Brown might both play, like, 36 minutes in these playoff games.
01:51I look at that as, like, the biggest positive out of all of this.
