Now that there's a big enough sample size of his production this season, we are starting to see his averages across the board become consistent with his previous seasons. While his PPG is down, so are his minutes and attempts per game. I think what we are seeing is a guy who's trying to find his fit and role on the team. And his inconsistency had a lot to do with him trying to figure out where he stands with the overhauled. Roster.

I think he can get back to a consistent 20+PPG by the end of the season. If Demps and Co think he has a good shot, we're better off holding on to him for another deadline.

I don't. He's got 2 problems. His attitude (passive not pouty/heart in phoenix crap), and his handle. It seems like 30% of his moves either false start or turnover because he loses control of the ball. If he handles better he has fewer turnovers and more points, and it seems like that's something he could fix with sufficient practice. We're not talking becoming best dribbler in the league here, we're talking about not losing the ball when you start your move. Fix the dribble and the passiveness and you have a 20+ ppg scorer.

Could be. It's sort of a weird lineup and fit.

No doubt.
