And largely we've seen the same thing. A perimeter player who is producing less than he did before.
The sample size is getting larger. So we can continue to wait for his rebound to happen - but we should also ask what if it doesn't.
Sure you can look back at his production since he came into the league, but his production has tailed off for an extended period of time, and those stats match the eye test.
Yes I think he's peaked. Which frankly isn't unusual. A lot of players peak before his current age. Or they don't continue to progress.
Nothing wrong with admitting that and then evaluating what you do then short-term and long-term.

If I remember correctly he was on quite the tear in the month or so before the season shut down playing at or above a ppg for those 3-4 weeks
