bball?

I didn't mean to imply that these rates will last forever, and i cited the small sample size.

The point was i made the statement that he has a hard time finishing inside based on what i have seen, to which someone refuted.  The stats confirm my eyes.  He has a had a difficult time finishing in his limited NBA experience.  In fact his rates are likely among the worst in the league, caveated again by small sample size., etc..

I do forsee this as a problem for him going forward though.  The rate may drop, but his lack of height and lift will likely hinder his longterm ability to be a legitimate post scoring threat.  that doesn't mean he can't be a contributor or a decent NBA player though.
