Neither Hunt nor Jones are great defenders, and it was pointed out earlier that Pinson is actually shooting a better 3 point % in the G League than both Hunt and Jones, in addition to being a better defender. We all know why they got Chriss as well...Hunt may only 1 inch shorter, but he can't play center at only 190 lbs.
If these guys have to play, we also don't want both of them having to get used to the NBA.
To be honest, while I listen to Mavs Moneyball and like it a lot, let's be real. They never miss an opportunity to crap on the Mavs players, front office or Cuban. They are right at times, so I don't want to discredit them, but they fall that way in my opinion. They do a lot of analytics work, but they seem to get their energy by criticism and complaining. There's a place for that.
Chriss is still an odd decision as I don't think he's in the G-League which, if true, would make me wonder what kind of shape he is in. He also has a history with Luka. On the flip side, he was a high lottery selection so maybe that's the interest?
