Javin has inexplicably shot very poorly so far this season, but his other stats so far show reason for optimism. With the caveat that we've only played five games and four of our opponents were lousy teams, Javin's rebounding rates (15.0% OR%, best on the team; 24.8% DR%; 15.2 rebs per 40) are all the best of his career. His assist% (8.4%) is a career high and more than twice as high as last season, his steal% (2.2%) and block% (4.2%) are not his best but are pretty good, and his usage rate (21.0%) is a career high and more than twice as high as last season.
This is a guy who had a 75% eFG% last season. It would be surprising if he doesn't start putting the ball in the basket at some point soon. At that point, if he can keep up the improvements in his peripheral stats, he'll have a very strong statistical profile. If at some point he can learn how to stop getting called for fouls, he could be in line for a Zoubekian transformation (and lest anybody thinks it's impossible for him to stop getting called for fouls, Brian Zoubek himself had a similar fouling profile at this exact stage of his career).
So I'm not as down on Javin as many others around here.
