<![CDATA[RAPTOR +8.3 and you're calling this a down year?? Read the number]]>You said he's declining this season?? Have you looked at RAPTOR?? Offensive and defensive impact combined +8.3 — that's a declining season to you??? Read the number.

RAPTOR is the most comprehensive player evaluation available right now. Combines real impact value with box score metrics. +8.3 means he's adding 8.3 points per 100 possessions to his team's margin. That's top-10 league-wide.

Your evidence he's declining: fewer points per game? His usage rate dropped intentionally — he's making room for teammates. That's called winning basketball, not regression. Do the reading.
