Are we seeing AD's career best statistical performance this year?

Career high in MPG, FG%, 3pt%, PPG, FT%, AST among maybe some not so obvious others.

Lets potentially assume Cousins resigns, no way AD hits these core numbers going back to sharing a load. Right?

Cousins is re-signing, but history says it takes 2 years before a guy can either return to pre-injury form or never does afterwards. I think at this point we can assume Cousins is the Bosh/Love of this trio and AD/Jrue will be scoring more like this.

Amazing season, but its crazy to think 2014 is possibly even better. Its crazy to think we still don't know his ceiling yet.
Better PER
Better WS/48 (and WS)
Better BPM
Better VORP
33% less turnovers
More Blocks and Steals per game

Stealing some numbers from Jake Madison's Locked on Pel's podcast from a few days ago. AD's usage rate is up from about 29% to 34% since Boogie went down. You'd expect that part of the equation to revert back.

What you hope can be a permanent change is him settling for jumpers less and attacking more like he has been. AD's averaged 9.2 FT attempts per game in February. It was 8.4 in January and 7.4 in December. AD/DC started out the year getting fouled like crazy the first week or 2, then the calls stopped coming as easily so they stopped working as hard to attack and get them.
