But the point is valid - his attempts at the rim dropped from 45% of his shots in his rookie year to 19% this year.
Then again, last year (2013-14) was probably his best year and yet he took his lowest number of shots at the rim that year (15%).

Lets not act like Casey hasn't had a ball movement offense before. Last year he just tried to maximize what he had on his roster. He saw Lou Will's one on one scoring ability and turned him into the 6th man of the year.
Now the roster is built for a more ball movement offense and better defense. I don't think the team will be top 5 in offense but, has a chance to be top10 like two years ago. With the D going back into the top10.@Chr1st1anL

Jimmy Butler? 34%
Monta Ellis? 25%
Everyone I found that has a proportion of shots at the rim similar to DeMar can shoot the three.

NBA player tracking data has many non-LeBron scorers ahead of DeMar on PPG on drives to the basket (to use one of a number of available indicators of ability to get inside to score and frequency of doing so), including: Tyreke Evans, Reggie Jackson, MCW, Damian Lillard, Jeff Teague, Monta Ellis, Eric Bledsoe, Kemba Walker, Gordon Hayward, Victor Oladipo...
A number of those guys would be facing #1 perimeter defenders, fwiw.
Also, DeMar increased his ppg on drives in both last year's and this year's playoffs vs. his regular season numbers. He could score more at the rim if he wanted to/had the offensive sense to realize he should.

I'd be pretty surprised if he didn't break through the 32% mark next season, given the amount of money virtually riding on it (not that he won't get paid hansomely regardless). Last offseason the primary focus was his ballhandling, smart money has it shifting to his 3-ball as we speak.

If DeMar had half a brain in his head, he would be well over 30% 3 point shooter. He is terrible above the break but takes about a third of his threes from there. He made 3 of his 29 attempts above the break.
Unfortunately, there is no sign that DeMar is capable of intelligent shot selection anywhere on the floor.

Now we need him to be a little more of a system player on a great team. He's shown that he can do that, he just needs to come in with an improved 3-ball and a willingness to kick out passes to really make things click. It's not rocket-science and I'd wager he's up to the challenge.
