The Gist appears to be that Zinger has sacrificed his own potentially more gaudy statline which is part of the reason the team is now at a pace significantly better than most expected.
I can buy that, especially when you consider how much better his stats were with a Knicks team that was not even in a playoff discussion.
The flip side would be that if KP's close to the rim vs perimeter shot ratio were better then is shooting % would be better AND the team would be even better still. Of course that's only true IF KP TS% is higher all the way around due to the the adjustment.
