It isn’t often that a team gets excited about their once No. 4 overall draft pick playing the role of seventh man to perfection in Season 6 of his NBA journey.
It’s even more rare when that same player is only in Year 2 of a five-year, $90-million contract extension.

So while his preseason has been encouraging, including his nine points in Tuesday’s 124-117 loss in Denver, pump the brakes.
