Of course its fair, we already know what Ariza can do in a limited role now we know how he performs as a forced 1st option. How do his stats look alongside Kevin Martin? Im sure they are much closer to what he did in La. Overall Id say Ariza is the better player regardless. Championship caliber role players are more valuable than go to guys who are so inefficient that they cant lead you anywhere worth mentioning

I think Ariza in HOU should get an incomplete. He was acquired for his skill set, which is maximized in systems with at least one big man. Since Yao has been out all year I don't think its fair to judge Ariza on what's happened this year.
