Have you noticed how much this guy is improving?

I mean, look at his stats. Compared to last season his points per 36 mins have just rocketed 5 points! And his FG% as well has risen up by .3%

If he continues like this (which will happen easily since he is only 21) the statistics say that he will be a 25pts .46% type of player, per 36 mins.

The problem is that statistics also say that if his team keeps on reducing his minutes, in two years he will only play 5 minutes, so per game he will only score 3.4 points. And (this is the worst part) in three years he will play minus 1 minute (meaning that he will play against his own team for one minute). I think no coach will stand that and he will just be banished from the NBA.

A sad story I would say.

He's Kobe without the work ethic, shooting, court vision, post moves/general skill.

So he gets better as he plays less. What does that tell you?

He would be better than Michael Jordan if given 0 minutes.

Pelicans are pretty much like the mid 90s washington bullets. they have enough young talent to win a lot of games, but still won't do shit in the play-offs.
