In those 11 games, he only averaged less than three minutes and less than a point per game.
For his career, he’s appeared in 39 games and has averaged two points and one rebound per game.
Before he entered the NBA, he played at Duke during the 2019-20 season where he put up strong numbers. In 31 games, he averaged a tad over 17 points, eight rebounds, and one assist per game. He also shot 57% from the floor.
We’ll have to see where this talented player ends up next.
