So then define "high rate?"Where were you after his 12 point, 21% shooting performance against Chicago?
I said he couldn't keep up his current 3 ball accuracy, and he hasn't.
I said he couldn't keep up his current volume/efficiency combo, & he hasn't.
Wasn't like I was calling him trash .
To be fair, even though his 3 ball has come back to earth he's still maintained good volume by managing to get to the line at a good rate.
even as this was developing in the thread, i agreed that his output was high. so we agreed we were maybe arguing over semantics. But even then I said your opening statement was what was being honed on. That statement was more telling than these numbers and percentages boys keep throwing around. I don't really feed into all the stats that heavy or worry about game for game. I'm still focusing on the og statement about him not being able to score at a high rate and lock up, which i think is becoming more and more absurd, still.
Because in both of my posts that you've quoted I said he couldn't do 2 things that he was currently doing:
Shoot 45% from 3.
Average 25+ ppg.
And, as I expected, he has not.
So I'm not sure where the issue lies.
