It's not a stat you should look at for a single game (although if you were going to read anything into it, it would be that we didn't lose this game due to DR great offense as much as our bench shitting the bed while DR was off the court), but over a large enough sample (last several years) it shows some things that the eye test tends to miss. It's easy to see him make a lot of shots and clutch shots at the end of the game to look really good. Its much harder to see the impact of his lack of spacing on the offense or his terrible impact on defense. He is considered a "star" but he doesn't really provide star impact to overall team performance.
None of this really matters as I don't see him wanting to come here and play second fiddle to Luka. My guess is he would rather go to a team where he can run the show or ring chase, neither of which applies to us.
