He increased his scoring average to 13.2 ppg, but it seems that had a lot to do with him playing more minutes per game than anything. He was more effective from 2 point range and didn't take 3 pointers at as high of a rate, but his 3 point percentage and FT percentage were both worse than before the all-star break. Rebound and assist numbers were basically identical as to what they were prior to the all-star break in spite of playing more minutes.

Again, it sounds like you are basing your analysis more on hype and potential than on actual substance, talent, and performance.
