He's a consistent scorer. But he's just not advancing in any other place. His rebounding is the same, his ast/tov are the same, and he's actually getting worse defensively.

Of players with the same or more FGA/game than him, only one player had averaged less assists.

1. Westbrook: 24.0 FGA -> 10.4 APG
2. DeRozan: 20.9 FGA -> 3.9 APG
3. Davis: 20.3 FGA -> 2.1 APG
4. Cousins: 19.9 FGA -> 4.6 APG
5. Lillard: 19.8 FGA -> 5.9 APG
6. Irving: 19.7 FGA -> 5.8 APG
7. Thomas: 19.4 FGA -> 5.9 APG
8. Wiggins: 19.1 FGA -> 2.3 APG

That's pretty bad.

And he's not even that efficient at that. His EFG of 48.4% is 307th in the league, and 3% lower than the league average of 51.4%. His True Shooting Percentage (53.4%) is 254th in the league, below the league average of 55.2%.

And his rebounding and assist totals are abysmal. He's 377th in rebounds per 100 possessions, 259th in assists per 100 possessions, his rebounding rate is 63rd, and his assist rate is 230th.

Add to the fact that he is one of the worst defenders in the league, and I have a hard time saying he's just a below average player. He's actually a BAD player at this point in time. And although he's still young and can improve, his lack of progress, despite his talent and playing time, is troubling.
