My argument against this would be, that he is a normal third guy scoring around 15 points per night. If I have a look at some other "third" guys (on offense) I find a similar patern:
Bledsoe, average for season 14,6, last 10: 6, 10, 13, 6, 2, 10, 9, 13, 11, 30, 28 (above league average efficiency 10/24 times, overall -1.2% rTS)
Barton, average 14,2, last 10: 9, 7, 17, 5, 14, 17, 22, 15, 15, 6 (above league average efficiency 12/20 times, overall -0.3% rTS)
Kennard, average 16,3, last 10: 14, 15, 8, 20, 21, 16, 20, 6, 9, 14 (above league average efficiency14/23 times, overall +3.5% rTS)
Nunn, average 15,1, last 10: 18, 14, 8, 7, 11, 15, 9, 19, 6, 21 (above league average efficiency 11/24 times, overall -1.5% rTS)
Reddick, averga 15, last 10: 3, 15, 26, 12, 13, 16, 18, 12, 20, 26 (above league average efficiency 16/23 times, overall +6.5% rTS)
Paul, average 16, last 10: 16, 20, 30, 4, 16, 7, 16, 20, 18, 4 (above league average efficiency 15/23 times, overall +3.1% rTS)
Richardson, average 16,1, last 10: 9, 25, 32, 8, 28, 19, 17, 11, 7, 24 (above league average efficiency 7/17 times, overall -0.1% rTS)
To add a bit of perspective to THJ contract. Out of the guys mentioned only CP3 is paid more. Bledsoe and Richardson are also excellent defenders.
Non of them is as streaky as THJ. THJ is at 8/23 and +2.4% rTS. Below league average efficiency in 2/3 games. Overall still a more efficient scorer than guys that are less streaky. I don´t think any player in the league can match his combination of volume, efficiency and streakiness.
