He’s also 6’10. I don’t play basketball, but a 6’10 player who moves like a 6’3 player (Speed wise) seems pretty damn unstoppable. What the hell happened???

    It’s those last two more than anything. For years he was a consistent 15-17 ppg scorer on good TS% despite having no 3 pt range (or any range) and being a terrible FT shooter.

    That sort of player, who also runs the offense and is a strong defender, can absolutely have an impact despite a lack of shooting. And he proved it. But injuries and the rest have taken a toll, and certainly teams have also adapted.
