He seemed to go away from that style this year and was finishing drives much more effectively (at least during the first part of the season) by finishing at the rim off of a running jump, instead of stopping in the paint. It's clear that the power jump was something that worked in high school for him, as he was probably too strong going up off of two feet for anyone to do anything about it.
