Assists went from 5.7, 4.8, 5.5, 6.5. I don't know if I'd call one season an uptrend but I consider his passing skills pretty below average for a point guard. So does pretty much every analyst. Reference the above video.
His defense has gotten progressively worse every season. How do you explain that? The explosive upside is something that it seems like only a couple of people can reason. I just don't see it.
It once again goes back to my opinion that this guy is a shooting guard in a 6'1" 160 some pound body. He has to change around his entire game to reach this potential you speak of. He's also a risk Milwaukee has already taken and it's failed miserably so I don't see why they want to re-up that risk.
4.8 to 5.5 to 6.5 is an uptrend. 6.5 was also good enough for 16th in the League, a step behind Lawson/Curry and just ahead of Lillard/Lowry/Conley. Usually they guys are considered above average, even by this board.
Sometimes you guys use stats to justify what you want to see, which is very common in statistics.
Calling him a SG is silly. He just has poor shot selection.
I think his defense got worse as the team proved they wouldn't be a winner. He's better than he was as a young player simply by getting stronger, but also fell into bad gambling habits and lazy closeouts. All correctable by a good coach.
