I actually do - as he has many games where he absolutely dominates and many games where he is closer to 12 points, 3 rebounds. If you expect that he will get better and will get more consistent - I can see him getting to be a 20/9 player (vs. 17/7 that he is now) - this is a big jump, imho. FWIW - his 17/7 is about the same as what he got last year in the only time he actually got real consistent starter minutes (about a month of the year) - so there is something to be said about this year's jump just being put in position to get consistent starter minutes.
Time will tell.
