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!
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.
