He is shooting 47% from mid range, not 52%, that's a decrease from his previous year if my maths are still good, besides that he is not scoring the same amount of mid range jumpers per game than last year. And besides that his productivity has drastically decreased, from 23 ppg and 52% fg to 17ppg and 45% fg, his always poor rebounding stats have decreased as well, from 7 rebounds to 5.4
And you say he doesn't need a decrease? Just wow

Kobe Bryant for example is shooting 46%, but with higher attempts both made and attempted (almost 100 mid range shots made already against Dirk's 62,)
Despite that Dirk is a 99 in mid and Kobe 78 , Does that make any sense to you?
If you say yes I'm sorry but you have a problem
About the excuse of the sample data, so 15 games are enough to give somebody a rating boost, but not a rating decrease? Doesn't that sound ironic? This is called living rosters for a reason.
