His D has been solid, and while he does occasionally make an unforced turnover, it's clear he's been working on his playmaking/PG skills. With his size (6'5") and improvement, I'm starting to wonder if he could be the Jazz's next starting PG, at least in the short term.
His last 6 games, since being inserted as the primary backup PG &/or starting PG:
29 min, 11 points, 4/5 FG, 3/4 3's, 7 reb, 4 ast, 3 stl, 0 blk, 3 TO
25 min, 11 points, 4/8 FG, 2/4 3's, 4 reb, 4 ast, 1 stl, 0, blk, 1 TO
40 min, 27 points, 9/16 FG, 5/10 3's, 3 reb, 2 ast, 0 stl, 1 blk, 6 TO
25 min, 19 points, 7/10 FG, 4/6 3's, 3 reb, 6 ast, 0 stl, 2 blk, 4 TO
21 min, 7 points, 2/4 FG, 1/3 3's, 1 reb, 3 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk, 1 TO
19 min, 14 points, 6/8 FG, 2/4 3's, 1 reb, 5 ast, 0 stl, 0 blk, 3 TO
Over that stretch, his line read; 26.5 mpg, 14.8 ppg, 62.7% FG (fire!), 54.8% 3's (what?!?), 3.2 rpg, 4.0 apg, 0,8 spg, 0.7 bpg, 3.0 TO's (needs to improve)
On the season, he's now at 15 mpg, 7.1 ppg, 50.5% FG, 44% 3's, 2.2 apg, 0.6 spg, 1.4 TO's.
"Hoping not to jinx anything" Gah! Sorry about that, y'all! I clearly jinxed him. Maybe acknowledging as much will get him back on track.
Last 2 games:
19 min, 4 points, 2/7 FG, 0/1 3's, 2 reb, 3 ast, 0 stl, 0 blk, 0 TO
19 min, 2 points, 1/4 FG, 0/3 3's, 0 reb, 3 ast, 0 slt, 2 blk, 1 TO
