What he has done to be so praised in this game? Nothing. He shoot a bunch of jumpers and bricked em all, he lost the ball multiple times, he had two blocks and in one of them he seems that he was going to break all the bones in his body. I think the hype is just that he is able to step on the court?
I was about to say the same thing. His first two misses were just barely off target--the first almost fell on the second bounce and the second was part way down before rimming out--and he only had one shot that wasn't really close (the baseline turn around in the 2nd quarter, which was long by about a foot). In addition to the effortless defense and rebounding, his soft and accurate touch from anywhere was the most encouraging thing about his first game. Not saying he's HOF if he's healthy but it's easy see the excitement (though as always some folks will take it way too far).
