i think the main reason I like conley and praise him so much is because of how trash he was and how much he's grown. Dude used to be so bad it was laughable. Like a school bus fire. He could've given up. Just turned into a smush parker type talent. Just a check collector. But MC put hella work in. Dude came back one summer a completely different player and has never looked back. I respect that. He's definitely top 10 with the way he runs his team and gets them all on one accord when he's on the court.
How trash he was and how much he's grown?
42%, 44%, 44%, 44%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 44%
His minutes went up, and with it, so did his stats. That's it. There is nothing else that screams "WOW, HE'S GROWN SO MUCH!" at all except for his 17 PPG outlier year... at age 26.
