Interestingly, his stats this year look similar to his career. His 3% is down, his 2% is up and eFG% is same as last year. His career high rebounding per 36 was last year (10.7) and this year (9,6) is his 2nd highest. I guess what I meant was he is historically not a particularly efficient shooter or rebounder, especially for a big. But you are right, the eye test says something is off.
Last year post December he averaged 24/10 on 45/36/85 (if we include December then 22/10 on 44/35/80). That's pretty efficient and good rebounding. What's going on now is shocking for me to say the least.
Defense is the biggest issue. His 3p% being down is likely a big deal to him psychologically, because that was the offensive calling card that earned him the unicorn nickname anyway. Someone mentioned the other day that they thought it was mental (i.e. fear of injury). Both of his two major injuries were contact injuries. How is not playing like female genitalia going to get him injured?
