Terry Stotts: 'LaMarcus Aldridge impressed everyone'

Terry Stotts has said that LaMarcus Aldridge is "impressing everybody" with his form in the NBA this season.

The Portland Trail Blazers forward scored over 40 for the third time in his career last night, helping the team to a 110-105 win over the Denver Nuggets.

The coach told reporters: "It goes without saying, LaMarcus just keeps impressing everybody with what he's doing.

"He was aggressive to the basket, he made his jump shots, he made his free throws, he rebounded, he came up big when we needed him, he made passes out of the double teams when they doubled, he got blocked shots. He was fantastic."

Aldridge has averaged 24.7 points per game this season.
