The big question is when will AD return. If you study his stats for the regular season and playoffs, there’s some reason for concern about his decline in shooting percentages from the line, midrange, and deep since his breakout in the playoffs when he shot 57%/83%/38%. Was that a breakout or just an outlier. We all thought it was a breakout and I guess we’ll find out the second half of the season.

I still believe it was a breakout and that it was injuries that have caused the decline so far this season because it’s not just his shot. His average points, rebounds, asssists, steals, and blocks have all declined from Playoff AD. And the eyetest is telling me that the shots he’s missing are not heavily contested. They’re the same wide open shots he drained over and over in the playoffs. Count me as one who believes AD belongs in that legends picture at the top of the article besides Kareem, Wilt, and Shaq. He just might have to play a lot of center this season to get there.
