personally, i thought they should have taken a wait-and-see approach to extending him. but he's putting up big enough numbers that they surely saved a few million a year by getting it done.

i love some of the stuff i've seen on the court, but from a statistical standpoint, he's still mediocre on offense despite the impressive points and assists averages: the turnovers are really bad, his TS% and FTA are average, and he doesn't take enough threes considering his excellent FG% from out there. those things can definitely be improved upon.

he had some great plays late yesterday:

- a crucial offensive rebound that he turned into a three-point putback.
- a play on defense where he saved the ball from going out of bounds and bounced it off an opponent
- the clinching jumper, made from a spot on the right wing where he shoots about 25%
