He's been great, man. Probably better than most people realize. 44/43/85, 16.5 and 7 per, PER of almost 24 (ninth in the league), 3.4 win shares (eighth - second in win shares per 4 and he doesn't turn the ball over. Defensively, he's maybe adequate, but that will go out the door once Dwight does.Originally Posted by Kevin Cleveland
Been meaning to get your two cents on his season so far. Always thought the kid was really good and SVG should have been giving him more minutes since last season. I think his numbers take a dip when D12 is traded.
I think he has to be on a good team to carry on as effectively as he is right now. He gets all kind of open looks because of Dwight, so it will take another post player who requires double teams (few and far between) or a great point guard for him to continue to play like this, whether it's with the Magic or not. He's a little bit more than just a spot-up shooter, but obviously, that's his biggest asset. He's not creating a ton of quality looks for himself.
I agree on most of that. I think he's smart enough to adapt as a scorer/passer when Dwight leaves Orlando.
