The Aussie appeared in just 54 games this season after a hip injury sidelined him following the All-Star break, but after winning four Western Conference Rookie of the Month awards, he was among the best freshmen this season.
In 54 games, he averaged 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists on 41.9 percent shooting from the field and 26.3 percent from the 3-point line.
