I saw the guy play vs. New Jersey, and I've got to say I was very impressed. Just a year ago, this guy was fighting to just make an NBA roster, and now he is a key component off the Warriors bench. I got a good look at him once this season, but he is a very good 3pt shooter, and he has some quickness. Here are his #'s:8.6 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 2 apg, 49 fg%, 46 3pt%.
Ehh...not really. He played in over 60 games last season. Ya he is putting up better numbers, but breakout seems a bit strong. He is also playing a career high number of minutes, and that is mostly due to injuries.
He has also started 9 out of the 25 games he's played, due to injury. Most players put up better numbers in more pt.

I wasn't being a dick, I was just stating what I thought and the reasons why. I don't think he is having a break out year, okay?... Can you just knock it off?
I'm not ready to deem it "breaking out" but I think he's having a much improved season, a lot of that can be attributed to his playing time, like D-Rob said. Last night Tommy Heinson called him the Ryan Gomes of the Warriors and I think that can be true to an extent. He's not the rebounder Gomes is, but he can knock down the open jumper, and grab some sneaky boards, as we saw last night.
