Ah, but you did ... twice.  "If only he could do this consistently...".  
You want him to get around 30 pts, 10 rebs, 9 assists, *and* control the 
game *and* make his teammates better virtually all the time?  Hello, 
championship.

I think that's a lot to ask for ... right now.  It'd be enough for me to 
have him improve on improving teammates, shot selection and decision 
making (don't care about the threes much) significantly this year.  Not 
that I'd be disappointed if he did do what you ask.  Far from it.  Just 
think it's probably too much to ask for now.
