But before the 2017-18 season, Hollis-Jefferson had only four games where he scored 18 points or more ... in a career spanning 107 games.
This year? Through eight games, he’s already done that four times, highlighted by a career-high 21-point outing in Tuesday’s loss to the Phoenix Suns.
This season, Hollis-Jefferson is averaging 15.0 points and 5.2 rebounds a game while shooting 51.3% from the floor – in 26.3 minutes per game. And on a more subtle note, he’s hitting his free throws — better than five a game— at an 88.6 percent clip. That’s a stat-line that few if anyone outside the Nets saw coming.
Take a look.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson now has a jumpshot!
And it doesn’t look forced anymore. It’s smooth, relaxed. Because of it, his game log in points reads, from game 1 against Indiana through game 8 versus Phoenix, as a model of consistency: 14, 15, 9, 18, 19, 6, 18 and 21.
MIP candidate if he can keep this up. Producing from all over the floor consistently... I knew he was shooting FT's good but 88% is damn good esp at 5 a game.
we got like 5 guys in foul trouble
