When he was drafted, he was seen as an extremely raw guy who had never been coached on the weaknesses in his game (half-court offense, defense, shooting). He'll always be an elite transition player, but in most other aspects of the game he's still very early on in the development process.
He reminds of Jamal Crawford. Jack it up, play no defense, ignore teammates and hope that your stats look good at the end of the game regardless if team wins or loses.
