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.
" You can't have it both ways. " ...And neither can you (meant matter of factly, not snarky!).
It's a silly debate, frankly, because we are debating stats and what they indicate when sliced thinly. It's easy for you to cherry-pick some you prefer, and for a different cherry-pick to look very different. SSS from so much slicing makes that confusion over the meaning and significance of stat comparisons very easy.
I hope you are right in your view of JG and who he is right now. But I think your confidence is very premature. Let's see how it plays out, because barring injury we'll get a much better answer this season.
