I agree. There was a contextual difference in how he was used with us last year than how he was in New York, so we can't JUST look at New York, for sure. And this year until basically this last game, he hasn't had the same sort of roster context, so we can't look at the results relative to last year because it's just not the same, for sure.What we are seeing though...is that, what we are seeing with these 30+ point games with 5+ assists and good efficiency...it's reproducible and hopefully we see this sort of consistency build as he continues on in Toronto.
How do you define "reproducible?" He's shot 55% or higher in 4 of his 5 30+-point games... and 60%+ in 3 of them (71.4% in the peak one). And in the other, he shot 38.5%. And he had to draw 11+ FTA in 4 of them. Something to consider.mdenny wrote:

Should I have gone back 20 years? Because I bet the results would be the same.
That would have been a much more meaningful sample, but even then. Things ebb and flow, because that's how talent works.

This is just ridiculous. A decade of results isn't a meaningful data set because of ebb and flow? This point you're making borders on disqualification in terms of your credibility in assessing data.
Also...I've never seen someone try to minimize a player's performance because "he had to draw fouls" to do it.
RJ is our best free throw merchant. It's a viable skill and every good team needs a guy who does it well.
