He's a total
non-liability on offense. If he's hitting his free throws like he's been, his only flaw is a lack of a three point shot, which is insignificant given his ability to score in other ways and find his sharpshooting teammates. I watched Game 2 with a sub-focus on what kind of assists he was being credited with, whether he was getting cheap ones by, say, making a simple pass to Pierce or Allen or KG who then created their own shot. Nope, his assists were earned. I love the simultaneous back pick-dish thing he's been doing regularly at the arc for three point shooters, I can only imagine how comfortable that makes a shooter feel to have a smaller teammate give you that pocket of friendly space in front of you as you shoot.
