Steady Scorer — 15.9 points a night, shooting a shade above the league's 82.0% True Shooting, across 201 games at 112–89. He takes a normal share of the offense and shoots most of what he touches, and the live grade sits at A-.
The steadiest scorer in the building — 201 games, 112–89, 15.9 a night on 83.8% True Shooting with 0.9 turnovers, the 3rd-lowest rate in the league — and 550 career threes, second all-time. A day one with 3,190 career points, and beside RickJames323496 he has played 93 games (50–43 together) — more games than any two men in the league. He brings buckets without drama: 33 points and nine threes in Game 182, 201 games deep. The honest part: he holds it — 79% of his touches end in his shot, 2.7 assists — and there are more quiet nights than the talent allows (37% under 20 PRF). The 16 Hot Seats say the league has noticed. The lever is his shot selection: 70%-plus from the floor and his teams are 71–30; under it, 40–56. Take the good ones. He knows which ones those are.
