I'll give you the rebounds, he's been getting stronger every year and that has helped him on the boards. But shooting more 3s on terrible efficiency is actually hurting the team so I would definitely not count his 3pt shooting as an improvement. Not sure about the defensive fouls specifically but his overall fouls per minute has actually gone up, even though his steals and blocks are steadily diminishing. And the worst for me is that his assist/turnover ratio has gone to ****. He's not even looking for assists anymore and yet he keeps turning it over.
In summary, lately he's been trying too hard to do things he's not very good at, he's just not the type to hold the ball so much and take so many shots.
My peak Giannis was actually in 2016/17 when his assists, blocks and steals peaked and he had a much lower usage and FGs. He was just a better team player. I just wish he was a little bit stronger back then because he was falling down too much and wasnt as good on the boards, but I liked his decisions much better then.
