Despite talk about his injuries he’s still shooting at a pretty large volume, meanwhile his shot selection has been poor. As a big man you’d expect his fg% to be higher. It’ll be interesting to see how his efficiency ends the rest of the season after factoring in this start.

It’s not that hard to take another 2 minutes and look at his game log. Over the last 4 games, the Knicks went 3-1 and he’s averaged 24.5 PPG on 54.7% TS. You’d like that to continue trending upward, but it’s significantly better than his historically poor shooting to start the season.
