In 25 games we've basically watched him learn how to:
play defense without fouling
screen without fouling (remember how awful this looked early on?)
score out of the short roll
develop a right handed jump hook (where the hell did this come from???)
Excited to see what's next.
Sorry to be repetitive, but I've been pounding the drum since SL and PS - his greatest asset, even bigger than his physical gifts, is his native intelligence and ability to flatten that learning curve very, very quickly.
Who knows, maybe by next season he'll be shooting and making threes.
