Plus, you're not looking for much improvement if all you want is an increase of 0.1 points, 0.3 assists, and 0.5 rebounds per game.

I am actually hoping his usage goes down, but his scoring goes up. I think his assists could go up if we play BK off the ball a lot, though. If he can get to 30/5/5 while keeping his % around 45/38/85, I would be ecstatic.

Wouldn't his usage conceivably go up to get those numbers without his %'s getting better? I would love to see him get to 30/5/5 with a lower usage rate and his %'s increasing and his turnovers decreasing drastically.

45 would be a big increase in his 2s. He was at 43 last year. I didn't do the math to see about how it all works out, though.

You and me both. That would be amazing.

The amazing thing is that I don't think it is unreasonable. It is within his grasp.

Tiny sample size, but in the last 9 games before he got banged up and we sat him to finish the season, he put up similar #s to those.

31/5/4 on .456/.410/.790

That was facing triple teams on every possession. Imagine what this man will do with coaching and shooters.

Yep. The kid is incredible at his age. And it mostly came out of left field after his college career as a 6th man.

BTW, are we going to have Bandana Night at the arena this year?
