This data was arbitrarily limited to players with more than 300 minutes played(198 Players)
Honestly this should be expected. He’s the new superstar in the making and on top of his shot blocking ability and length, players are going to be taking more risky shots on him, they want to be the guy to give him a little “Welcome to the league” moment.
He’ll continue getting blocks through his skill and physical attributes, but it will surely go way down next season.
