His shooting has risen from the ashes. Since January 20, he’s shooting 44.2% from the corner and 41% above the break.

Gotta be the legs...he didn't have his legs for much of Dec/Jan into his injury in Feb. He had a foot injury, but he was losing his balance/falling and looked a step slow after his 40 pt game in Denver for weeks. There was something there that was bothering him, otherwise this could have been a continued progression from his series of excellent games in November - check the game logs right till November 25th...was really doing well offensively and efficient and then it really falls off for a prolonged period. He came back and a week or so after started picking back up what we were seeing the beginning of in November.
Anyway my only point here is I think he was making this leap with his game and came into the season with a new mentality/progressed his skills. I still think with OG the risks are always physical/injury.

that's twice... I was reading something about OG and thought "its almost Giannis like" and the next comment was yours. Then I was reading this one and was thinking how explosive his legs are right now. His bounce, lateral movement, 2nd step.... he's just popping.
Seeing OG playing like this along with a healthy McBride and Mitch looking good for 20 minutes is really giving me feels about the postseason 
OG finally got into shape, all those minutes finally paid off
I feel like this team just plays hot potato when it comes to taking over a game, or being featured, or whatever
I just think the more time that goes by, the matchup is going to dictate whether or not a specific player goes off or not
I was going to look for this thread again.
OG is playing with a lot of confidence in his handle and seems much more comfortable putting the ball on the floor in traffic. Lower dribble.
So in addition to 3pt shots and assisted play/transition baskets, he’s also getting a few opportunities to read the floor and decide if he wants to attack his man. Maybe he always had this green light, but he’s been taking advantage of this.
I think it’s subtle but OG’s conditioning seems better this year. He’s stayed healthy - he tied a career high games played at 74 plus the playoffs.
He’s playing great - like a 1-2-3 scorer depending on the part of the game. I didn’t think he’d be capable of being the offensive focal point but he has definitely done it for stretches of game 1 vs the Celtics!
It's when he was hurt and missed like 2 weeks around the all star break. Probably flew to Germany to get some new horse level hulk inducing steroid shot, that dude is near Kawhi level balling!
