Not only did he have great regular season, but Buckets has been DOMINANT on both ends of the the floor so far in these playoffs.
In the four games he's played, he's put up 28.3/5.3/3 on 54/39/77 splits. And keep in mind, this has been against a young, frenetic, formidable Bucks defense. At times, when Rose has been off, Buckets has been the sole player keeping the Bulls in these games, such as in game 4, when he was the only player on the Bulls who could get anything going anything offensively (I may be mistaken, but I don't think he missed a single shot in that game after the 2nd quarter).
And his defensive intensity has been remarkable, as well. As a whole, his man-to-man and team defense have been sublime, and he's pretty much been good for at least one "holy shit" defensive highlight a game.
His most remarkable trait might be his endurance, however. He's like Westbrook in that he does not seem to ever get tired. He'll play a 50 minute game where he's going hard on both ends of the floor, and then have enough energy to sprint down the floor in frustration.
Buckets is a stud. So glad the Bulls managed to pluck this guy - a bonafide all-star and potentially more - out of thin air. I just hope I don't jinx him by making this post.
