In what you consider his "good" subset, he was a non-factor on offense more often than not (12 games out of 21). That's no recommendation for paying him beyond MLE money, and hints more that he just had a few good games that skewed the averages.
You can't have it both ways. First, its that his numbers only look good when he gets minutes because he only gets minutes because he's playing well. Then when that doesn't prove to be true, it is "look, he's not really very good in 12 out of 21 games". The aggregate numbers are still fantastic when he gets minutes despite these games where he doesn't score much.
