This pace is new for him I think. He got a lot of his points in broken court situations over the last several years. I'm not that impressed with his back to the basket game but he's still a great paint scorer. The offense needs some tweaking to get him in his best spots.
He was also being doubled most of the game and didn't really handle it well. That might've disrupted his rhythm the whole game.
You get a much closer look at somebody's game when you see them every night, obviously. I've been surprised at how mediocre he is handling double teams. A lot of times he'll just dribble out of it past the 3-point line, which is exactly what the defense is going for barring a turnover. He's a lot like David Robinson in that he doesn't seem to have a strong foundation. Great athlete who can run the floor, hit the glass, slash and dunk, demolish lobs (his ability to catch and contort in midair is unreal), shoot a little bit, but not much of a post game or anything like that.
This is spot on. I didn't realize much of AD's flaws until he started playing for our team and I'm able to watch him more frequently. I am surprised by how limited he is in the post. He also shoots a low percentage on those fadeaway jumpshots.
