Yep, he had bad start, first 3 quarters only 5 points and then in last quarter 17 points , 4/4 for 3 pts in that period. If he wasn't on restricted minutes he would score way more. I might be wrong, but it seems to me like he lost a bit of weight. That would definitely be a good thing for him, to reduce chance for injuries.
For me that is one hell of a good start. This kid is something else.
His shoulders are really big and he might carry a lot with those.
Just looking at how ecstatic the crowd was when he shoots the ball. They want something from him. Playoffs maybe? Not this year but maybe next.
Who knows? It is still possible if they could get a good run.
But I am seeing they are taking care of him. The lead was not that much against the Spurs but they let him rest.
