You never know how a dude will respond being the number 1 guy(especially when he was a 4th option before) and how he will react to defenses always guarding him with their best player, doubling him, bodying him to push him off spots etc etc. So yes, even if his TS% says he was average or his PER says he was slightly above league average I think he had a "good" season all things considered IMO. I think many hoped he could get 2-3 more FT's a game and just slightly improve his 3pt shot this season. That obviously hasn't happened. I'd trade him for a pick if I could but I think you are selling him short on how he played last year.
