A freight train in the paint and one of the most efficient forces in the league when healthy — 21 a night on a blistering 64.4% true shooting, drawing fouls at a near-elite rate (99th percentile) and finishing inside at 60%. The jumper still isn't there (25% from three), and durability remains the question after 62 games, but few players bend a defense like he does.
