Welcome to the Ringer NBA show. My name is Kevin O'Connor and I'm a basketball writer at theRinger.com.

I'm here today with Joelle and Bede, the potential All Star Starting Center for the Philadelphia 76ers.

JoJo, thank you for joining me and welcome to the show.

This, how you doing?

Joelle, you're averaging over 19.7 rebounds and two blocks per game so far the season.

You could be the rookie of your favorite, probably are.

And with your Twitter campaign, you might be an All Star if this continues.

When the numbers you're putting up early the season and your career, after everything that's happened in the last two years, have you been all been surprised?

Have I anything that's happened so far?

Oh, yeah, I've been surprised myself before the season.

I hadn't played in two years and before the season, I thought I was just going to come in.

Basically, first of all, I thought I was on come off the bench and they were going to give me a long slowly.

But, especially in my off-ense game, I was getting so much better and I thought I was just going to come in and show some flashes and show a little bit more.

You know, show a little bit of my potential and then the following you'll really take off.

So, it's been great that I just had a chance to just come in and really show what I could do.

You know, the funny thing is, you mentioned you thought you might show some flashes.

I think Brett Brown really understands your potential.

He calls you before Shaq with soccer feet compared to the Duncan and you're third in the NBA and usage percentage.

So, you're being utilized like a superstar.

What has Brett Brown enabling you to be great, to be yourself meant for you so far this year?

I think the whole coaching staff has been doing a great job.

They've put in me in a great position to succeed and you know, with all the play calls and all the offense set up and it's been a pleasure to really have the support and I really appreciate it.
