13.8 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 3.0 APG, 1.3 SPG, 1.0 BPG, 61.4% FG, 33% 3FG.
To me the biggest thing is he's making shots close to the rim. That has been his bugaboo the last couple of years. If he can keep this up and shown that he knows how to finish and that three point shot starts to fall --- look out.

Yeah, KCC was dogging on him early in the season, but I think there were a few others that also went along with that. Admittedly, he had a bad first game or two and so it may have been justified. But since then, he's been playing well. I thought he looked good as a frosh and last year was probably the dreaded sophomore slump. Hopefully, he continues playing like he has. As of right now, he's playing better than guys like Wilson and Martin (overall). That may change but I still believe he will be one of our best 5-6 players by season's end.
