He led the team in field goal percentage at .553 and averaged 3.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.66 blocks in 9.4 minutes per game. Among all NBA rookies, he ranked fourth in blocks, 15th in rebounds and 20th in scoring and would have ranked first in field goal percentage but did not make enough baskets to qualify. He posted career-highs of 16 points, with nine rebounds, at Milwaukee on Nov. 27; grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds, with seven points, against New York on Nov. 30; and five blocks and 31 minutes at Orlando on Nov. 10.
