408 Minutes Played (17.7 MPG)

Per-36 Minutes: 20.6 Points, 11.3 Rebounds, 1.3 Steals, 3.6 Blocks, 3.9 Fouls 70% TS

+/- Per 100 Possessions= +10.1

More dunks per minutes played than Gobert or Giannis. If he did this as a starter for a season he would break the record for dunks in a year. He had some genuinely breathtaking rim runs, and some great chemistry with Westbrook.

WTF? How did we get this guy?

Yeah he has been a huge get. Bulls fans were saying that he wasn't as effective there because they don't have a drive and dish PG like Russ.

Per 36 he is averaging 7 more points with us compared to Chicago earlier this season.

I'm inclined to think that a change of scenery can be a big deal for some guys. We really needed someone at that position to just give us some energy, and he has fit in perfectly. Great contract pickup too, because he'll be a restricted free agent and we'll have his Bird rights.

I'm also psyched for him to get a chance to matchup with Embiid. I don't care if he gets crucified, it will be a great opportunity to learn.

He's been a game changer. His defense is borderline Rudy G-lite. If he can stay out of foul trouble, which is asking for a lot against Embiid's shenanigans, he will be an x-factor. And of course his stamina and conditioning needs work, but I'm thinking he will work on that this offseason.

100%

It will be interesting to see what the Wiz do with Bryant when he comes back next year. Both young guys have a lot of potential.
