Efficiency Machine — 16.7 points a night, shooting well clear of the league (73.0% True Shooting), across 6 games at 3–3. Almost everything he touches ends in his own shot, and the live grade sits at B+.
The two-way wing who left Season X with a cabinet full of second-team hardware and has picked up where he left off: 16.7 points on 67.7% from the floor and 3.2 rebounds, 10th in the league, with 2 Player of the Game awards already. On Season X’s scale his scoring reads 26.1 against the 14.8 he averaged across 144 games, up on it, and his rebounding, 2.1 on the old scale, is level with his old 1.8 — he is doing more of the dirty work than he ever did. The honest part is the ball and the arc: 42.9% from three on 2.3 attempts a night, above the bar, from a man who shot 55.4% last season; 1.7 assists against 1.3 turnovers; a keep rate of 88%. 3–3, +3.7 a game with him on it. Take the threes that are open and the rest of this is a starter’s sheet. Season X hardware: Key Contributor runner-up, Second Team All-Association and Second Team All-Defense.
The men he has played beside longest, the one he wins with, the one who has his number — and the one he keeps losing with.

Everything he has done across 6 games. The Current Form tab carries the last 6.
Only 22% of his shots are threes, and he rarely finishes at the rim. And the ball tends to stop: he keeps 88% of what he touches, 3rd highest of 18.
Points per game says how much. These say how — and they are the whole difference between two men with identical scoring lines.
