Loved this thread and wanted to revisit it. My eyeballs say DP is making a comeback despite—or maybe because of—his reduced minutes. (Giving up on the 3 ball has maybe helped him too.) A quick look at his numbers by the month seems to confirm.
20-21 stats by month (excluding small sample December)
Minutes: 17.5 (Jan), 11.9 (Feb), 10.9 (Mar)
Points: 4.1, 4.3, 3.7
Points/min: .24, .36, .34 (compare .35 last season)
Rebounds: 3.6, 2.9, 3.3
Rebounds/min .21, .24, .30 (.28 career season high)
FG%: 41.7, 40.0, 60.0 (last year’s 63.8 only time in the 60’s)
FT%: 50, 86, 88 (never finished a season in the 80s)
Count me as one (perhaps the only) guy on this board who hopes we don’t sell low on DP. This time next year, his contract may be considered a value.
