That first step back turn around jumper he made as the first highlight in the video was sweet. Looked like a Cousins move in slow motion.
Glad to see him starting to have consistent success night to night. He's also 3rd in the league in shot blocking. I don't want to see him on the NBA court this year though because he's not ready. Especially for the speed of the game. He's very slow out there right now.
One thing that concerns me is that in his 15 games played, he only has 2 games where he has had a positive +/- rating. I wonder what the deal is there? Even Isaiah Cousins who's stats for a guard are about on par with Papa's stats as a center has a positive net rating in about 40% of his games played. Papa's offensive stats look okay enough so the only thing that's left is his defense. Despite the shot blocking, he must be playing really poor defense to have such a bad +/- rating. I know that stat isn't the be all end all but it makes you think when his is so far off of his other teammates.
