Your numbers indicate he’s appropriately deferring to our two All-NBA level players when they are playing and appropriately showing more when they aren’t. It is pretty much exactly what you’d want out of a youngster who projects to be a high level role player.
This part is tricky.
I agree that not pushing to do more offensively than he should and playing within his role is a positive, and I agree that some people might be unfairly holding this against him. But, I also think some people's opinions that he passes up too many open shots that have been generated in the flow of good offense are justified, and agree with those who want to see him step into those shots with more confidence, particularly in light of the percentages he achieved last season.
