No one's upset that he hit the game winner or not excited. It's just hard to use this as an example of growth, as they're outlining. It's great he's playing so well, but the question always is, is it sustainable? Because right now, it doesn't look that way. Nothing about his play style has changed significantly, he's just hitting more shots. Maybe he's just becoming a better finisher and shooter, but he could also just be on a hot streak and you'll see him fall back. Hope it's the first one, but still, concern remains. You can't just look at base stats anymore these days, there is more to it.
Since January 22nd (Where this stretch roughly started around), he's hitting 47% of his mid range shots (6th among all guards in that time frame with at least 80 attempts from mid range). The one good sign I'd say is that while his mid range percentage has gone up around 5% since the 22nd, his percentage of mid range shots taken has gone down slightly.
He's shooting 55% around the bakset in that time frame, which is league average, but a huge improvement from worst in the league. That MIGHT be sustainable, but he's still not getting to the free throw line.
