I don't think the numbers are crazy AT ALL, especially with how he has looked lately.
I'm still not sold that what it takes to put those numbers up is the right path to choose if winning is the desired destination, and I definitely don't think I'm in danger of losing the All-Star bet. But, I'm not meaning to stone the guy (for now). I'm legitimately happy that he's back to contributing ANYTHING, to be brutally honest. There have been moments of good-to-great on both ends of the floor this season.
Are my preconceived low expectations leading me to overrate his current level? Probably. Do I think he can sustain this for even half of one season? I'm honestly not sure, but that this is even in question for me is a monumental improvement, and enough for me to confidently say I missed the mark on KP by at least a little.
