He's cleared 24.5 points successful 4 of his six games this season, averaging 27.2 points per crippled while shooting 56.4 percent from nan section and 47.1 percent from 3.

Someone has to people nan shot for this Minnesota team, and Donte DiVincenzo and Naz Reid person gotten disconnected to comparatively slow starts successful nan 2025-26 season.
