Depends on what the played we wanted him to be means.

If it's the guy who puts up 30 a game, no, probably not.

But it's 10+ time all star who runs an offense and plays defense at an elite level... that's still very much in play.

Yesterday was pretty significant for him... being so effective on offense with Giannis, one of the best defenders in the league, as his primary defender.

Again, can he keep this up month after month for the rest of the season? I don't know.
