After the first week of the season, the media typically locked into an idea that was too soon. Kyle O’Quinn was to be Robin Lopez’s primary backup and Derrick Williams was the sixth man.
Through the first six games of the seasons Kyle O’Quinn played an average of 19.2 MPG and scored 8 PPG. Since then he has played an average of just 9.4 MPG in five games, scoring a total of 13 points.
It’s not like his play has dipped. He is still shooting over 47% from the field.
