re: You can't say we haven't gotten better as a team.

Per 36 aren't real numbers if they were Alexis would be out starting center.

More realistic for a guy playing 28 MPG who plays good defense.
The biggest difference between last year and the first 2 years here is he took the most FGA last year while playing the least MPG. His per 36 in terms of PPG is higher, but his FG% has stayed steady/improved as the years gone by.

Ajinca on the other hand plays 14MPG puts up a damn good PER36, but he can't play consistent defense and puts up close to 6 fouls per 36 minutes.

One is reasonably translatable while the other isn't.
