Wow...I just cannot agree with this at all. The only thing the guy has underachieved imo with is staying healthy.
The dude hasn't attempted a 3. He's chipping in 13 ppg, 6.5 rpg and has very few plays run for him.
Take a look at his hotspots...they are closer in than tim duncan and almost anyone else I've ever seen. 98 of his 126 shots are directly in the paint.
I "might" agree with the high-flying stuff, but so what, he's DEFINITELY the constantly around the basket player...period.
