Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2123092, member: 40"] Great data--I'd have expected the numbers to go down more. Presumably, the reason it hasn't dropped off is that he plays within himself. I.E., he doesn't take bad shots, he doesn't try to do too much. Which is why the criticism of him pump faking, etc. is totally off the mark. He isn't a guy who can create off of the dribble, and he isn't a guy who does a ton of damage inside. He picks his spots. If he was forced to do too much [or if he started taking bad shots just to get the ball up more], his efficiency would plummet, like it did for CJ. All of which comes back to the original point -- he is what he is, a terrific complimentary player, not a transcendent offensive talent who is going to go high lottery. [/QUOTE]
