    In March

    Aldridge is averaging 21.6 points, 9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.875 blocks
    Hickson is averaging 15 points, 12.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.8 blocks
    Leonard is averaging 5.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.4 blocks

    There's a reason we have been out-rebounding our March opponents by a good margin. Our bigs have really stepped up. I wonder if they can keep it up?

    Here is the rebounding game logs in March:

    vs. Minny (+8)

    vs. Charlotte (-3)

    vs. memphis (-14)

    vs. SAS (+10)

    vs. NOLA (-18)

    vs. memphis (+9)

    vs. New York (+4)

    vs. Detroit (+12)

    Total average difference in March = (+8) total.

    It's not great, but it's a hell of a lot better than our season margin!

    Man, if Leonard could learn to block shots he'd be solid

    He's a little lost; especially on the pick and roll defense. He really needs to work on that "help defense". He's got a reaching problem, and sometimes he pushes off, instead of bodying his man. There is a lot of work, but it seems more about timing and getting in the flow of the nba speed. I think by the time he is 80% developed, he will be a 2 block, 10 board player.
