There are only seven starting PGs who average more than 15.4 ppg right now; there are 12 with more than 6.1 apg. And in fact, the NBA averages for starting PGs are 13.48 ppg and 6.19 apg. So really, while he's not exactly what we might optimistically hope for, he is playing (statistically and I'd argue factually--as stats don't tell the whole story, as any real fan knows) at a better-than-average level for an NBA starting PG.

He isn't averaging 15-6 he's averaging 10.4 PPG, 4.3 APG. 15-6 is his hot streak, I bet more than 20 PGs this year have had a streak like that (if he's a PG, really).
That said, what did Wally average in 03-04 when he didn't touch it as much (and was hesitant): 10 PPG in 22 MPG with no passing. Then as other Wolves bowed out he scored more and more. So even for a guy who could score 17-20 PPG a season (off of KG) could make Jaric look okay sometimes.
