It's just slightly below league average (53.4% last year) efficiency. I'm using his TS% from 13-14 because more in line with his career averages and he didn't have an injury mid-season.
His PPS of 1.27 is higher than the league average of ~1.20. Considering the volume he's doing that at, it's not bad. It's not good enough to warrant being the #1 option on a legit title contender, but it does show prowess as a scorer.

Why?
Well because JV is hands down the best post player on this team, just like he was last year. There is 0% chance that they don't have a plan for him in the post.
Probably a simple plan, but a plan nonetheless. Because the better post defender is probably on JV, like the better perimeter defender is on Demar. They get hot you throw a double team at them. Defense can be that simple because our offense was.
Dont fool yourself into thinking that everything the other team does is a complicated strategy to stop Demar.

Demar is a 20$ mil/ year player under the new cap. Because he has to take on average like 1.5 extra low percentage bailout shots a game doesn't mean he is a terrible player. Comparing him to role players and guys who are at best 3rd options on their teams just makes you look silly.
He's the guy defenses focus on, the others are guys that rely on guys like demar to be able to get theirs at the rate they do, and they know it, therefore they are paid like it

Why in the world would you want to sign a league average player, let alone a below average player, to a ~20 million per contract?
TS% is not the end all be-all. Yes it describes efficiency, but one must then look at role/situation to determine how good of a scorer a player really is. I mean DeRozan actually scores the ball about as well as LaMarcus Aldridge does.

So you are telling me we should reduce his usage to make him more efficient(I agree) all the while paying him ~20 million?(I don't)
And now we are comparing a legit 20-10 guy LMA to DD?
The homer-ism is off the chart here.
