pretty impressive.  I don't think he shoots close to that percentage as the year goes on.     I think he is on a heater now.   I think he will have much more games scoring 6 than he will score 20.  Although, I think his running the offense, low turnovers and getting the ball to players in their shooting zone will all be helpful even if he doesn't score.    

It is pretty remarkable how everyone looks for him to get him the ball after a rebound.  Before he was playing most players tried to bring the ball up themselves.   It was one of the reasons the offense was so choppy.  No one else could get players good looks before setting up the offense imo.

I think it's almost inevitable that he's will score about 10-14 ppg. He has that one little jumper at the top of the key that's almost a gimme, plus he gets his share of transition layups. I'm more concerned that he get his assists at about 7-8 a game. If he can manage that, that would be a difference maker. Since he shot 40% on 3s his last season at Gonzaga, I feel good about him hitting above the league average.
