He's playing one less minute but averaging TWO more rebounds per game this season. I don't think this is just Lopez. He is being more assertive. It's really incredible. Usually most improved award goes to player who just gets more minutes but Aldridge has improved with less minutes. I nominate him.
That was one of the improvements many Blazer fans were requesting for many seasons and he has answered that in spades this year. If he wants to work on what is next, work on the handle a bit and he would be unstoppable.
That's incredible! I can't believe how much better he's been this year in terms of his production and leadership.
