He's scored in double digits in three of his last four outings, and over that span he has averaged 16.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals over 28.8 minutes per game while shooting 67.6 percent from the field.

There's little more the forward could've done; he only turned the ball over once and committed one foul. He'll look to continue his high level of scoring and paint presence against Vanderbilt on Saturday.
