Small sample alert? His 5 games in December were very bad on average, his 10 games in January were bad on average and now he has 6 excellent games in February, mainly because his three point shots were going in at a high rate. He only had 3 FTA in all 10 January games combined and shoots only one per game on average for his career. His shooting is still suspect for me as it mostly comes from wide open shots, often a consequence of defense not taking him seriously.
We can agree to disagree, but I just don't see more than marginal improvement at best. I think Richardson is a better defender while ok attacker (I still think there is much more left once he gels with the other guys), THJ is a better shooter while ok defensively and Brunson is a better PG. All of them get to the line way more. He is only 23 but neither of our guys are old, even THJ and Richardson just entered their prime. Even if the price would be like Green, salary filler and draft compensation I am not sure how I would fit him in the rotation.
