His passing skills are getting better and better. I understand that assists are overrated, but getting the ball to locations where a player has the best opportunity to score keeps players engaged on both ends and gets the team easy baskets. (Ohh god, that is an assist right?)
Anyway, I think you'll see the second stage of his power game come into play more and more as he ages. If the officials allow him to use his off-hand to clear players out of his way like he does now, he'll be effective to 40.
I totally agree about his defense, or lack there-of.
