That is not a true statement.
A new coach and system MAY make these kind of comparisons invalid, but there is probably a stronger likelihood that the data is of a large enough sample that its general trend would continue even with a new coach and system.
BUT either way the main point still holds. JR in his role last year in that system with RC as head coach was a huge detriment to team success. The Mavs CHANGED that by removing both possible issues: 1) JR as a player and fit and 2) the system and coaching around that.
NOTE: My strong opinion from observing the situation with my eyes all year and looking at the data is that RC and his system was NOT the problem with JR's fit and performance.
