EO must have read my posting last week saying that I felt he would have been a better player in the NBA, more of a 17-12 guy consistently
Since then he has been playing like an All Star

Hard to say if he's feeling healthier or just simply playing better. Early in the year, he wasn't getting many minutes even though he started. He'd have some 4-point, 3-rebound games in under 20 minutes as the Wizards let their younger bigs play in blowout losses (Seraphin and Blatche, primarily).
The pairing with Nene at the 4 seems to have been effective, and now he's a crunch time guy getting 35 minutes a night.
His shot blocking isn't what we remember, but he's still every bit the rebounder. And sometimes now he shows that feathery touch again that he left here with -- that hasn't always been there in the pros.
