Well, I took a lot of heat for arguing that TimeLord is still a long ways off, especially his team defense, defensive positioning, and rebounding. I don't want to speculate that someone lit a fire under him about fundamentals: boxing out, avoiding ball watching (but I'm going to), but today was a significantly different performance.
I'm not ready to say he deserves to start or get more than 10-13 minutes a game, but he has certainly made me feel more confident that he will at least hold his own against the average NBA big man.
9.5/10 for today.
