Aaron Gray (7'0 270) is a stud basketball player, begging to be used to his capability. Last year, his rookie campaign, his numbers were pedestrian, averaging 10.0 mpg, producing only 4.3 points and 2.8 rebounds.
However, a glimpse of his power came in the last game of the season, as he was given 35 minutes of PT, and produced 19 points (on 13 shots) and an eye-popping 22 rebounds.
Aaron's minutes this preseason have been all over the board, under the new coach and with lots of team injuries, let's just say there have been a lot of experiments with the lineup. The one constant: when given minutes, Aaron is a beast.
He has played 20+ minutes three times (out of six games so far) this preseason, but look at these numbers:
21 minutes, 10 boards (2 offensive)
24 minutes, 9 boards (5 offensive)
28 minutes, 11 boards (5 offensive)
14 minutes, 7 boards (3 offensive)
Not only does he put up big rebound numbers, overall, a full 40% of his rebounds are on the offensive end, which is an absolutely incredible stat, and truly demonstrates his skill.
These numbers are sick, and if given starters minutes, there is no doubt, Aaron would be one of the elite rebounders in the league.
