17-18 ppg isn't really a true 2nd option. That only happens if your team has a superstar and is loaded with secondary scorers like our championship team was. If that's the expectation, that's fine but it's more of a #3 scorer projection. I'm also not that optimistic about him becoming a very efficient offensive player even with reduced scoring volume. He likely tops out at league average even in a best case scenario.
Sure, and his rookie season is what gave everyone optimism for a higher offensive ceiling than originally projected. We're now on year 4 though and the improvements made in his offensive game have been pretty minimal. His biggest improvement is in his mid range game and that doesn't actually help his overall efficiency at all.
I mean second best player, not second best scorer. Defense wins championships.
Like Lowry.
