Despite his appearance on several posters this season, the 7-footer is still averaging 1.8 blocks per game. He is also having a career year in points (20.8) and assists (2.5); and for the first time in his career, he is regularly shooting from deep—and making 34 percent of them. Currently the 28-year-old is on the trading block.
