I'm not overly thrilled either, but you are being overly dramatic.
For instance, 176 games played is over 100 more than any second round pick from Lazar's draft class. His 36 points is double the top second rounder from Lazar's draft class as well - though Patan managed his 18 in 1/3 the games.
In fact, only two second rounders from the 2012 draft, one year earlier than Lazar, has played as many games as he has.
